Fisher Papers. SMC 114. Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego.BiographyRobert Lloyd Fisher (b. 1925) is a Research Geologist Emeritus in the Geosciences Research Division at the ScrippsInstitution of Oceanography (SIO). He is known as a leading contributor to the field of deep-sea geology, with significantlifelong contributions to the areas of seafloor exploration and cartography, sub-oceanic igneous crustal composition andstructure, and trench tectonics in the Pacific and Indian oceans. Fisher earned a B.S. in Geology from Caltech in 1949 and aPh.D. in Marine Geology from UCLA in 1957 (with all research completed at the SIO campus). Active at sea from 1951 to theearly 1980s, Fisher was a participant in, and chief scientist of, many major deep-sea geological-geophysical expeditionsfrom SIO. In the 1950s and 1960s he used sound-train analyses from subsurface bomb detonations and innovativeecho-sounding practices to determine the depths of deepest-ocean trenches. Fisher was among the first to recognizeChallenger Deep in the Mariana Trench as the deepest locality in the world's oceans, as well as finding Horizon Deep in theTonga Trench, slightly less, to be the deepest point in the Southern Hemisphere. A dexterous mapmaker, Fisher'sparticipation in SIO's Vermilion Sea Expedition to the Gulf of California in 1959 produced a bathymetric chart in 1961 whichforeshadowed later plate tectonic patterns. Pioneering the theory of subduction, the 1954 two-ship CHUBASCO Expeditionin the Middle America Trench established that at trenches the "oceanic" crust above the mantle creeps diagonally into themantle beneath the landward flanks "continental" layers by convective action.When the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) installed a working group to coordinate the InternationalIndian Ocean Expedition (1959-1965) Fisher was appointed Co-Chairman alongside USSR's P. L. Bezrukov of itsGeology-Geophysics and Bathymetry Subcommittee. He also served as chairman (1982-2003) of the General BathymetricChart of the Oceans (GEBCO) Subcommittee on Undersea Feature Names, there advocating for the appropriate andenduring naming of newly-discovered seafloor features. Fisher was awarded the inaugural Drake Medal by GEBCO in 2004in recognition of his lifelong contributions to global oceanic geography.OFF-SITE STORAGECOLLECTION STORED OFF-SITE.
