Spilhaus, Athelstan.
Athelstan Spilhaus response to History of Geophysics Survey, 1988.
A letter to Spencer Weart, director of the Center for History of Physics, a bound copy of a 1976 Texas A&M University Master's thesis by John Miloy entitled "The Origin of the National Sea Grant Program" which includes a chapter on Spilhaus (who originated the Sea Grant concept), an an autobiographical account of his life based on an interview conducted at Claremont College in 1975 by Dr. J. Platt and Enid Douglas. File also includes a curriculum vitae and list of publications. 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 they 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.
Spilhaus was born in 1911.
