File includes an autobiographical sketch entitled My Years in Geophysics, which discusses Elasseer's contributions to studies of the earth's internal magnetic field; his studies with Max Born; his work at the California Institute of Technology with Robert Millikan and Irving Krick (in meteorology); World War II work with the Army Signal Corps as a civilian meteorologist; his professorships at the University of Utah and Princeton University and his final move to the University of Maryland as a research professor. File also includes biographical statistics from the questionnaire and correspondence with Spencer Weart, Director of AIP Center for History of Physics. 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.
