The Geophysics History Project

The American Geophysical Union, in cooperation with the American Institute of Physics and the American Meteorological Society, with support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, presents the following pages as an experiment in documenting the hidden history of modern science. It has been estimated that 90% of all published research was produced by people who are still living. We invite scientists, technicians, students, etc., who participated in any of the research areas below to visit these sites and add their recollections, unpublished documentation, comments, and other information, and participate in the threaded discussions of relevant topics.
