Emery, K. O. (Kenneth Orris), 1914-1998
Kenneth O. Emery response to History of Geophysics Survey, 1997.
Response to a survey of approximately 250 leading geophysicists worldwide, conducted by the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Center for History of Physics and the Committee on History of Geophysics of the American Geophysical Union in 1997. Recipients were asked to send copies of their curriculum vitae and a list of publications as Part One of the survey and were then asked to discuss their entry into science in general and geophysics specifically as a career; how their scientific achievements came about and major efforts they were involved in which did not achieve the hoped for results; changes from one discipline to another; funding sources; the role of other disciplines in their own research; their work as educators; and their involvement in geophysics-related institutions. Contents include Parts One and Two of Questionnaire; curriculum vitae with short autobiographical sketch, list of books, list of talks, and bibliography; and autobiography entitled "Some early stages of marine geology". Emery reflects on his family life, early academic training with Francis P. Shepard at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, and his move to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. In retirement his writing projects combine oceanography with other subjects.
