I’ve spent much of my research career steeped in Earth science and planetary evolution, including teaching undergraduate geology. Geologists are trained to appreciate the inconceivably large span of geologic time (or ‘ Deep Time ’) as well as the relative brevity of human presence on the planet. Rexcornot/Wikimedia.

A brilliant geologist, he was recruited in the 1940s by the United States Army and then by the United States Geological Survey, at the height of the McCarthy era. This trauma reverberated throughout his career, and in all his relationships. When he died in 2008, his Washington Post obituary read “A Rock Star of Geology.”

Some geologists work with astronomers and astrophysicists to understand the geology of terrestrial bodies such as our Moon and our near rocky planetary neighbors - Mercury, Venus, Mars, asteroids, comets and since 2016, the planetoid Pluto. Also from the Arab World, Abu al-Rayhan al-Biruni is considered one of the earliest true geologists.
