  • Nasjonsrelaterte Stedsnavn På Svalbard Hvilke Nasjoner Har Satt Flest Spor Etter Seg? NOR-3920
    Nasjonsrelaterte stedsnavn på Svalbard Hvilke nasjoner har satt flest spor etter seg? NOR-3920 Oddvar M. Ulvang Mastergradsoppgave i nordisk språkvitenskap Fakultet for humaniora, samfunnsvitenskap og lærerutdanning Institutt for språkvitenskap Universitetet i Tromsø Høsten 2012 Forord I mitt tidligere liv tilbragte jeg to år som radiotelegrafist (1964-66) og ett år som stasjonssjef (1975-76) ved Isfjord Radio1 på Kapp Linné. Dette er nok bakgrunnen for at jeg valgte å skrive en masteroppgave om stedsnavn på Svalbard. Seks delemner har utgjort halve mastergradsstudiet, og noen av disse førte meg tilbake til arktiske strøk. En semesteroppgave omhandlet Norske skipsnavn2, der noen av navna var av polarskuter. En annen omhandlet Språkmøte på Svalbard3, en sosiolingvistisk studie fra Longyearbyen. Den førte meg tilbake til øygruppen, om ikke fysisk så i hvert fall mentalt. Det samme har denne masteroppgaven gjort. Jeg har også vært student ved Universitetet i Tromsø tidligere. Jeg tok min cand. philol.-grad ved Institutt for historie høsten 2000 med hovedfagsoppgaven Telekommunikasjoner på Spitsbergen 1911-1935. Jeg vil takke veilederen min, professor Gulbrand Alhaug for den flotte oppfølgingen gjennom hele prosessen med denne masteroppgaven om stedsnavn på Svalbard. Han var også min foreleser og veileder da jeg tok mellomfagstillegget i nordisk språk med oppgaven Frå Amarius til Pardis. Manns- og kvinnenavn i Alstahaug og Stamnes 1850-1900.4 Jeg takker også alle andre som på en eller annen måte har hjulpet meg i denne prosessen. Dette gjelder bl.a. Norsk Polarinstitutt, som velvillig lot meg bruke deres database med stedsnavn på Svalbard, men ikke minst vil jeg takke min kjære Anne-Marie for hennes tålmodighet gjennom hele prosessen.

  • Memorial of Cecil Edgar Tilley May L4, 1894-January 24, 1973

CmNNenr Department of Mineralogy and Petrology, Cambridge, En:gland projectingan ill-baked pudding at the cook. If in the future the son was to show a comparable in- toleranceof incompetence,it is improbablethat his displeasurewas ever so forcibly expressed. Of how Tilley first becameenthralled by Geology and Petrologywe have no record. His family was intenselymusical and Tilley himself as a boy was keenly interestedin the piano and was a proficient organ-player.In later years he expressedregret that in his first enthusiasmfor Sciencehe had allowed this interestto lapse.However, the Adelaideof his day, with its native scrub and the beautifully dis- played sectionsof the Adelaide System-the uncon- formities, tillites, metamorphic rocks and glanitic intrusives-within easy street-car or train ride cer- tainly offered ample incentivefor the young Natural Historian.By his secondyear at AdelaideUniversity he had accepteda post in the GeologlrDepartment as Cadet, whereby in exchange for making thin- sectionsand performingother small services,he was grantedremission of fees. The GeologicalStaff in Adelaide comprisedWalter Howchin, one of that doughtyband of stratigrapher-adventurerswho had decipheredthe Geology of a Continent by footwork, flair, and good fortune; and DouglasMawson, petrol- ogist, then absenton his Antarctic Epic. Mawson's locum tenens in 191.2was W. R. Browne. The With the death on 24 January 1973 of C.

M. PATTISON1 1Department of Geoscience, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, T2N 1N4, Canada (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: The Ballachulish region of the SW Highlands of Scotland was the focal point of a famous debate in the 1920s between Sir Edward Battersby Bailey and Professor Cecil Edgar Tilley concerning the identity, geometry and timing of development of metamorphic zones in the SW Highlands. New mineral assemblage data, microstructural observations, and rock and mineral compositional data are combined with phase equi- librium modelling to reassess the metamorphism in this area.

    PRESENTATION OF THE ROEBLING MEDAL OF THE MINERALOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA TO CECIL EDGAR TILLEY Anruun F. BuoprxcroN. Princeton LInirersity. Princeton. Nru Jerrry. Mr. Presid.ent, Fellows anil Members of the Mineralogicol' Society of America anil Guests: The Roebling medal is for meritorious achievement in the fields of the Mineralogical Sciences.Recalling the interest of Colonel Roebling in acquiring specimensof all new minerals for addition to his comprehensive collections,I am sure that were he now alive our medalist of today would be well and mostf aaorablyknown to him. For not only does the medalist have a mineral, tilleyite, named in his honor but he is himself the dis- coverer and describerof 7 new minerals. ProfessorTilley is the third medalist to be chosenfrom Great Britain, the other two being L. J. Spencerand Sir Lawrence Bragg. Also, pecu- Iiarly enough, like Sir Lawrence Bragg, he was born in Adelaide, South Australia. His undergraduate education was received at the Universities of Adelaide and Sydney. He served as Demonstrator in Geology and Mineralogy at the University of Sydney in 1916 and as chemist to the Department of Explosives Supply, Queensferry,l9l7-1918. Later he at- tended Cambridge University, England, and received the Ph.D. in 1923. From 1928 to 1931 he was Lecturer in Petrology at the University of Cambridge. Alfred Harker who was Reader in Petrology in the Geology Department of the Sedgewick Museum, retired in 1931. At this time Petrology was combined with the Department of Mineralogy and Tilley became the first Professorof the Department of Mineralogy and Petrol- ogy at Cambridge, a post he still holds.

In addition to the information presented in this list, records include details of a Fellow’s education, career, participation in the Royal Society and membership of other societies. Citations and proposers have been transcribed from election certificates and added to the online archive catalogue and digital images of the certificates have been attached to the catalogue records. Contributions of biographical details on any Fellow would be most welcome.

  • Cecil Edgar Tilley (1894-1973)
    MINERALOGICAL MAGAZINE VOLUME 39 NUMBER 305 MARCH I974 Cecil Edgar Tilley (1894-1973) THERE can be few petrologists able to remember a petrological world not dominated by C. E. Tilley. Although his death on 24 January I973 was at the age of just 79, his rise to eminence had been so precocious that the period of his predominance spanned nearly a half-century. The petrological roots of this patriarch of our Science lay in his native Adelaide, flanked by the Palaeozoic metamorphic rocks and granites of the Mount Lofty Ranges. In I912, when he entered Adelaide University, teaching in Geology was shared by the stratigrapher Walter Howchin and W. R. Browne, petrologist Demonstrator tem- porarily replacing Douglas Mawson then absent on Antarctic affairs. There seems to have ensued a battle for the mind of the young Tilley, and, while in a letter at that time he lamented the lack of fossils in the Adelaide hills, Petrology won and he fol- lowed Browne to Sydney where in I9r6 he graduated B.Sc. in Chemistry and Geology and was appointed Demonstrator in Geology and Mineralogy. Appointment as Chemist to the Department of Explosives Supply, Queensferry, Scotland, during I917 and I918 occasioned his first trip to Britain. It was not, however, until I92o, when holder of an 185I Scholarship, that he went to Cambridge and met his future mentor, Alfred Harker. Tilley does not seem to have settled too easily into Cambridge, but these were times of immense scientific stimulation for him, and he eagerly seized the opportunities offered. His initial research was carried out on a collection of South Australian granitic and calcareous gneisses that he had brought with him.
