INTRODUCTION

Numerous geoscientists are recognized each year for their contributions to the profession of geology and related sciences. Unfortunately, many in our profession are not aware of the opportunities for recognition for our colleagues; consequently, many deserving people are overlooked for the recognition they deserve. The purpose of this directory is to provide AASG members and their colleagues in various state geological surveys a quick and easy reference for awards and medals for which state geological survey employees can compete. It is important that people be nominated for various awards and medals, because if they are not nominated, it is certain they will not be recognized.

Additional information pertaining to awards and medals such as nominating guidelines, nominating processes, and nomination dates can be obtained by contacting the respective organizations who are responsible for specific awards and medals or by visiting their respective web sites.

Biographical Sketch: William Bowie was born May 6, 1872, in Grassland, Md. He attended St. John College in Maryland and completed his B.S. at Trinity College in Connecticut in 1893. In 1895, he received a degree in civil engineering from Lehigh University. His lifelong association with the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey began in July 1895. He received an M.A. in 1907 from Trinity College. In 1909, he became the chief of the division of geodesy of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. The three main accomplishments of his career were all related to his work with the Coast and Geodetic Survey. The first was his contribution to the rigid control of the triangulation and leveling nets. He was largely instrumental in the adoption of the North American datum by all the countries of North America. His second contribution was in his never-ceasing insistenceon an adequate mapping program for the United States. His work led to the creation in 1919 of the Federal Board of Surveys and Maps and the division of surveys and mapping of the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1926. His third contribution was perhaps the most striking-his investigations of the theory of isostasy and its application to problems of geological structure. His research dates from 1912 and resulted in the publication of his book, Isostasy, in 1927. During his career, he wrote nearly 400 articles and papers. Upon his retirement from the Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1936 he continued his work, especially in the furthering of the mapping program. In 1939, he became the executive secretary of the Society of American Military Engineers and editor of its journal, The Military Engineer. He received numerous honors and was active in many organizations. In 1939, he was honored by the American Geophysical Union with the establishment of the William Bowie Medal. He died in Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1940.

Biographical Sketch: Gilbert Haven Cady was born December 18, 1882, in Chicago, IL. He attended Lewis Institute in Chicago. He received his A.B. from Northwestern University in 1905, with majors in geology and English, and his M.S. in geology in 1911. From 1905 to 1907, he was professor of English at Southwestern University and from 1908 to 1909 he taught chemistry and geology there. He joined the Illinois Geological Survey in 1906, worked as a full-time staff member, and served until 1919. In 1917, he completed his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. In 1919 and 1920, he was a consultant for the New York Orient Mines Company in the Ming Kwang mining area in China. From 1920 to 1926, he was professor and head of the department of geology at the University of Arkansas. During this time, he continued a part-time affiliation with the Illinois Geological Survey. In 1926, he returned to work full-time at the Illinois Geological Survey as senior geologist and head of the coal division. He was responsible for initiating a variety of research programs related to coal geology. Research on the use of spores for correlation of coal seams was started at his instigation in the early 1930's. He was one of the first in this country to sponsor the Rosiwal analysis procedure for polished surface sections of broken coal. In the days before the existence of an acknowledged standard of coal classification, he was active as a member of the committees of the American Society for Testing and Materials and the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers to establish a satisfactory classification that could be accepted by both science and industry. He also pioneered in the use of geophysical logs from oil wells for mapping the structure of coals. In 1951, he retired from the Illinois Geological Survey as emeritus geologist. It was after his official retirement that coal petrology claimed most of his attention. He was an American representative to the International Committee for Coal Petrology from its establishment in 1951. In 1963, during meetings of the International Congress for Carboniferous Stratigraphy and Geology in Paris, France, the committee awarded him the Reinhardt Thiessen Medal for outstanding contributions in coal petrology. He was a member of numerous organizations. He served as president of the Society of Economic Geologists from 1957 to 1958. He was a principal organizer of the Coal Geology Division of the Geological Society of America. In 1968, he received the Penrose Medal from the Society of Economic Geologists. He died on December 25, 1970.

Biographical Sketch: Ian Campbell was born in Bismarck, N. Dakota., on October 17, 1899. He grew up on a North Dakota sheep ranch. His family moved to Eugene, Oregon. where his father had a cherry orchard. He entered the University of Oregon, but left school to volunteer for World War I military service. After 2 years he returned and received his A.B. in geology from the University of Oregon in 1922 and an A.M. degree in 1924. He left Eugene in 1922 to accept an appointment as university fellow at Northwestern University. In 1924, he moved to Harvard University as a teaching fellow, then in 1925 to Louisiana State University as an assistant professor of geology. In 1928, he returned to Harvard as an instructor in mineralogy and petrography. In 1931, he received his Ph.D. in economic geology from Harvard University. He accepted a teaching position as an assistant professor of geology at the California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech). In 1934, he was promoted to associate professor and appointed a research associate of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Under the aegis of the Carnegie Institution, he studied the Archean terrane in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. In 1937, he was leader of a pioneering Carnegie-Cal Tech geological expedition through the canyon. During his Cal Tech years, his greatest and most lasting influence stemmed from his role as teacher and friend of many students. In 1946, he was promoted to the rank of professor. In 1959, when he left Cal Tech, he received a courtesy appointment of research associate. In 1970, he was awarded the title professor emeritus. In 1959, he moved to the State Division of Mines as State Mineralogist and Chief, State Division of Mines. In 1961, his title was changed to State Geologist and Chief, Division of Mines and Geology. The "Campbell Decade" was a period of high productivity for the division. He retired in 1969. Although primarily an economic geologist, his interests spanned the world of geology. He was an active member in many organizations and served as president of several, including the Pacific Division of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1958, American Geological Institute in 1961, the Mineralogical Society of America in 1962, the Association of American State Geologists in 1965, and the Geological Society of America in 1968.

Biographical Sketch: Arthur Louis Day was born October 20, 1869, in Brookfield, Mass. He received his A.B. from the Sheffield School of Yale University in 1892 and a Ph.D. in 1894. He was an instructor of physics at Yale from 1894 until 1897, when he decided his career should be in the laboratory, not the classroom. In 1897, he went to the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt in Charlottenburg-Berlin, one of the best physics laboratories in the world, and volunteered his services as an unpaid assistant. It was there that he became interested in high-temperature thermometry, a field that was to be his primary research for the next 15 years. In 1900, he accepted an appointment as a physical geologist in the new physical laboratory of the Division of Physical and Chemical Research of the U.S. Geological Survey. Here he joined with E.T. Allen of the chemical laboratory to investigate the equilibria in mineral systems at high temperatures. They studied some of the most common minerals of igneous rocks, the plagioclase feldspars. C.D. Walcott, director of the survey, described their work as "one of the most important contributions to geologic physics ever published." In 1902, Andrew Carnegie created the Carnegie Institute of Washington. One of the recommendations of the advisory committee was that the institute establish a geophysical laboratory. At first the institution just provided grants to Day to continue his investigation of mineral fusion and solution at high temperatures and pressures at the U.S. Geological Survey. In 1906, the Carnegie Institute created a geophysical laboratory in Washington and he was selected as the first director, a position he held until he retired in 1936. During World War I, the geophysical laboratory was actively involved in development and production of optical

7

glass in the United States. Before the war, all optical glass was obtained from Germany. From 1918 to 1920, he was on leave from the geophysical laboratory to serve as vice president in charge of manufacturing at the Corning Glass Works in New York. After his retirement in 1936, he continued his research. He was especially interested in seismology and hot springs; he conducted extensive studies of the volcanic area of New Zealand. He was a member of many professional societies. In 1911, he was elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences and served as home secretary (1913-1914) and vice president (1933-1941). He was elected a fellow of the Geological Society of America in 1909, and served as vice president in 1943 and president in 1938. He was also president of the Philosophical Society of Washington in 1911 and of the National Academy of Sciences in 1924. He received numerous awards and medals, including the Geological Society of America Penrose Medal in 1947 and the American Geophysical Union Bowie Medal in 1940. In 1938, he received a special honor with the publication of the Arthur L. Day Volume of the American Journal of Science (volume 35A, 5th series). It contained 23 papers on geophysical and geochemical topics by active or former members of the Geophysical Laboratory staff. In 1948, he set up a fund for the Arthur L. Day Medal of the Geological Society of America. He died on March 2, 1960.

Biographical Sketch: John Chapman Frye was born in Marietta, Ohio, July 25, 1913. He graduated from Marietta College in 1934 with an A.B. degree. After one term at Ohio State University, he transferred to the State University of Iowa in Iowa City. He received his M.S. in 1937 and Ph.D. in 1938. His doctoral dissertation on the history of the Mississippi Valley drainage was the start of the dominant research interest of his career, the Pleistocene geology of the Midwest. He started his career after graduation with the groundwater division of the U.S. Geological Survey in Kansas. In 1942, he accepted the position of assistant state geologist of Kansas under R.C. Moore. In 1945, he became executive director of the Kansas Geological Survey. In 1952, he followed Dr. Moore as state geologist. In 1942, he also received an appointment as assistant professor of geology at the University of Kansas. In 1945, he became associate professor of geology at the University of Kansas. In 1942, he became associate professor and in 1952 full professor. He taught courses in glacial geology and published more than 60 scientific papers. In 1954, he accepted an appointment as chief of the Illinois State Geological Survey. Under his leadership, the Illinois State Geological Survey expanded its programs and technology. He was a great believer in teamwork, as evidenced by an increase in the number of cooperative programs of the survey and by the large percentage of his papers that were co-authored. By the time he accepted the position of chief of the Illinois State Geological Survey, his professional accomplishments were recognized and he was called to serve on many state and national committees, commissions, and panels. He was a member of many organizations, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, the American Geophysical Union, the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers, the Association of American State Geologists, the Geological Society of America, the Society of Economic Geologists, and the Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists. In 1974, he retired from the Illinois State Geological Survey to become the executive director of the Geological Society of America. The Geological Society of America was greatly strengthened under his management. He retired from this position in June of 1982. One of his major interests was environmental geology. The term "environmental geology" was coined by James E. Hackett of the Illinois State Geological Survey in 1963. Under his direction, the Illinois Survey established a publication series called Environmental Geology Notes. He considered environmental geology as a means of focusing attention on the application of geology to the welfare of man. He died November 12, 1982.

Biographical Sketch: John Taylor Galey was born August 30, 1907, in Beaver, Pa. He graduated from the Hun School, Princeton, N.J., in 1928, and received a B.S. in geology from Princeton University in 1932. After 1 year of graduate work in geology and petroleum engineering at the University of Pittsburgh in 1933, he began a career as a geologist, consultant, and independent natural gas producer. In 1935, operating with his uncle, Jim "Big Red" Duff, he discovered the Blackhawk Pool, 10 miles west of Beaver Falls, Pa., the first Oriskany Sandstone natural gas production in western Pennsylvania. Throughout his career, he drilled many wells and discovered numerous other oil and gas pools in Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia, including the first Oriskany gas east of the Appalachian structural front in Pennsylvania (1953). He presented many professional papers, and authored or edited numerous reports and publications dealing with geology and oil and gas resources. He organized and edited the Appalachian Basin Ordovician Symposium published by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in 1948. In 1985, he authored a benchmark paper on the inception and role of the anticlinal theory in the petroleum industry. This was published as part of the Geological Society of America Centennial Special Volume 1, "Geologists and Ideas: A History of North American Geology." He was a founder of the Pittsburgh Geological Society and the Eastern Section of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. He was a member of numerous organizations and received several awards, including the AAPG Distinguished Service Award in 1974, the Ben H. Parker Medal in 1978, and the Sidney Powers Medal in 1990.

Biographical Sketch: Michel Thomas Halbouty was born June 21, 1909, in Beaumont, Tex. While a junior in high school, he discovered geology and read every book the friendly librarians could find for him. During this time he went to work at the Spindletop oil field as a water boy. He saved his money and learned all he could about drilling. After high school, he went to Texas A&M University to study geology. He received his B.S. in geology and petroleum engineering in 1930. He received his M.S. in 1931. After graduation he took the first oil field job he could find-chain-puller for Young-Lee-and 6 weeks later he discovered High Island Salt Dome, an oil field that has yielded over 135 million barrels of petroleum. This started a lifelong study of salt domes that led to the publication in 1967 of Salt Domes: Gulf Region, United States and Mexico. He was an early "mud engineer," discovering the formula that allowed drillers to overcome "heaving shale." In the late 1950's, he devoted much effort to a campaign for total conservation of hydrocarbons. He was among the first to recognize the oil and gas potential of Alaska. He was also a pioneer in the field of remote sensing. His paper, "Applications of Landsat Imagery to Petroleum and Mineral Explorations," delivered at the American Association of Petroleum Geologists meeting in 1976, is a classic in the field. He served as president of AAPG in 1966 and 1967. He received the three highest awards from AAPG and also from the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers. In 1977, Texas A&M honored him by naming the Michel T. Halbouty Geosciences Building for him. In 1989, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists honored him by renaming their Human Needs Award in his honor. He has published over 200 scientific articles on geology and petroleum engineering.

Biographical Sketch: Richard Alexander Fullerton Penrose Jr. was born December 17, 1863, in Philadelphia, Pa. He entered Harvard University in 1880 at the age of 16. He graduated in 1884 with highest honors in chemistry. In 1885, he was an assistant to N.S. Shaler, who was with the U.S. Geological Survey. He traveled to Canada, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, studying phosphate deposits. He wrote a treatise entitled Nature and Origin of Phosphate of Lime for his

16

Ph.D. In June 1886, he received his A.M. and Ph.D. from Harvard (this was the first Ph.D. in geology from Harvard.) The U.S. Geological Survey published his treatise as U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 46. In 1886, he joined the Anglo-Canadian Phosphate Company as a superintendent of the phosphate mines. Two years later in 1888, he joined the newly formed Geological Survey of Texas and was made geologist-in-charge of eastern section of Texas. In 2 years, he mapped the Tertiary geology of eastern Texas. In late 1889, he left Texas to join the Geological Survey of Arkansas to study the manganese and iron deposits of Arkansas. The results of this study were published in 1890 and 1892. In 1892, at the urging of a family friend, D.M. Barringer, he traveled to the Silver City, N. Mex., region to study gold, silver, and copper mines. That summer he, with Barringer and other family and friends, purchased a gold and silver mine at Cochise, Ariz. During the next 4 years, the Commonwealth Mine yielded some $6 million. In 1898, he sold his interest in the mine. In 1892, he joined the faculty at the University of Chicago as a professor of economic geology. He remained on the faculty until 1911. From 1892 until 1911, he served as the editor of the Journal of Geology, published by the University of Chicago. In 1894, he and D. Whitman Cross made the first detailed report on the gold mining district of Cripple Creek, Colo., for the U.S. Geological Survey. In 1903, Penrose, his brother Spencer, and Charles MacNeill went to Salt Lake City to meet with D.C. Jackling and look at the Utah Copper Company. This trip resulted in the purchase of control of the company by the Penroses and MacNeill. He was a member of many societies and served in numerous positions, including president of the Society of Economic Geologists (1920-21) and president of the Geological Society of America (1930). His later years were spent in Philadelphia, where he devoted an increasing amount of his time to public service. He died on July 31, 1931.

Biographical Sketch: Francis John Pettijohn was born in Waterford, Wis., on June 20, 1904. His parents were schoolteachers. His father accepted a position at the University of Wisconsin in the administration of the extension division. His father's promotions were linked to job offers elsewhere, so the family moved frequently and lived in North Dakota; Bloomington, Ind.; Washington, D.C.; Indianapolis; and Minneapolis, Minn. In 1921, he entered the University of Minnesota as a freshman in geology. His interest in geology had developed as he tramped around

the countryside exploring the caves and quarries of the Bloomington, Ind., region and collecting fossils. He was encouraged by his mother and a neighbor, who was a graduate student in geology at Indiana University. He graduated from the University of Minnesota with a B.A. in 1924 and an M.A. in 1925. During the summers, he worked for the Minnesota Geological Survey as a field assistant in northern Minnesota. After receiving his master's degree, he accepted a position as instructor of geology at Oberlin College. He left Oberlin in 1927 to return to graduate school to work on his Ph.D. After a year at the University of California at Berkeley, he accepted an instructorship at the University of Minnesota and returned to Minneapolis to complete his graduate work. He received his Ph.D. in 1930. The subject of his doctoral thesis was a conglomerate of Archean age, filled with cobbles of pink granite. He had discovered a magnificent exposure on an island in Abram Lake near Sioux Lookout, Ont., while on a canoe trip in the summer of 1927. In 1929, he accepted a position as instructor at the University of Chicago to take over the work on sedimentation. He advanced to the rank of full professor before he resigned in 1952 to accept a position at Johns Hopkins University. While at Chicago from 1947 to 1952, he served as editor of the Journal of Geology. It was also during his years at Chicago that he and William C. Krumbein published their book, Manual of Sedimentary Petrology (1938). In 1948, he published his book, Sedimentary Rocks, which embodied his philosophy of the study of sediments. At Johns Hopkins, he and Paul Edwin Potter teamed up to publish Paleocurrents and Basin Analysis and the Atlas and Glossary of Primary Sedimentary Structures. In 1963, he was made chair of the geology department, a position he held until 1968. At that time the Departments of Geology and Oceanography were merged, along with part of the Department of Mechanics, to form the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. In 1973, he retired from his teaching position with title of emeritus professor of geology.

Biographical Sketch: Sidney Powers was born on September 10, 1890, in Troy, N.Y. He attended Williams College and did graduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.S., 1913) and Harvard University (A.M and Ph.D., 1915). In 1916, he went to work for the Texas Company as a district geologist. Working in southern Oklahoma in the Healdton Field, he recognized that the Pennsylvanian rocks rested directly on Ordovician rocks at a depth of 875 feet. He published his conclusion in 1917 and for the first time presented the concept of buried hills and emphasized the importance of unconformities in the search for oil. In 1917, he joined the U.S. Geological Survey, mapping structures in Oklahoma and Texas. From 1918 to 1919, he served in the U.S. Army. In the spring of 1919, he joined E.L. DeGolyer as the chief of geologists of the newly organized Amerada Petroleum Corporation. He served in this capacity until 1926. From 1926 until his death in 1932, he was a consulting geologist. Among his contributions to the geosciences was the compilation of the Oklahoma Geological Map, published in 1926. The history of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists is closely linked to his life. His name appears on the first roster published in 1917 in volume 1 of the Southwestern Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin, the forerunner of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin. He served as the 14th president of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in 1930. One of his outstanding contributions was the symposium, Structures of Typical American Oil Fields, published in three volumes by AAPG. He, with a few co-workers, conceived of the idea, selected the material, and edited the manuscripts. He was also an active member of the Geological Society of America. He was elected a fellow of the Geological Society of America in 1920 and a member of the council in 1930. He died on November 5, 1932, at the age of 42.
