Biography George G. Shor (1923-2009) was a marine geophysicist who served as chief scientist on many SIO research expeditions and contributed to the administration of the Scripps fleet and seagoing operations. His interests included marine seismic refraction and reflection, deep sea topography, research fleet operations and SIO campus planning. Shor received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Caltech in 1944. During World War II he joined the U.S. Navy Reserve and served as a radar and communications officer. He returned to Caltech in 1946 and received an M.S. in Geophysics in 1948. Between 1948 and 1951 he worked for the geophysical company Seismic Explorations, Inc. as party chief of a reflection seismograph crew before returning to Caltech for his Ph.D. in Seismology in 1951. Shor graduated in 1954, having conducted his dissertation on the seismic reflection of the Mohorovicic discontinuity, the boundary between the earth's crust and mantle. Shor began his career at SIO in 1953 working for the Marine Physical Laboratory as an Assistant Research Geophysicist. From the 1960s through the 1980s Shor had a rigorous seagoing career in which he averaged over two months at sea per year. He served as chief scientist for many expeditions, using explosives and air guns to conduct refraction and reflection studies. Shor served as principal investigator for Project Mohole, an endeavor launched by the American Miscellaneous Society in the 1950s which attempted to drill through the earth's crust into the Mohorovicic discontinuity. Alongside colleague Russell Raitt, Shor participated in several Mohole committees and piloted expeditions around the Hawaiian Islands to determine the best drilling location for the project. Project Mohole was terminated by Congress before drilling could begin. In 1960 Shor served as chief scientist on the Monsoon Expedition, the first SIO expedition to the Indian Ocean as part of the International Indian Ocean Expedition. His work in the Indian Ocean continued throughout his career and he was made special advisor to the Committee for Coordination of Joint Prospecting for Mineral Resources in Asian Offshore Areas (CCOP) from 1976-1991. Shor also served as Ship Scheduling Officer for the SIO Marine Operations Committee and was a formative participant in the creation of the UNOLS research ship fleet. During the 1960s he helped to establish the California Sea Grant program, serving as its manager from 1969 to 1973. From 1968 until his retirement in 1991 Shor served as Associate Director of SIO. George Shor's spouse, Elizabeth "Betty" Noble Shor, also worked at SIO as a laboratory assistant under ichthyologist Carl L. Hubbs. After Hubbs' death in 1979, she continued her work at Scripps, maintaining Hubbs' personal papers and library for many years. Remembered as the unofficial historian of SIO, she gathered records and papers across the institution and established the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives, and advocated for the historic preservation of the Old Scripps Building. She wrote Scripps Institution of Oceanography: Probing the Oceans, 1936-1976 for the Institution's 75th anniversary, and accompanied her husband on many research expeditions.
