Why Is Lawrence Alexander Hardie Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Lawrence Alexander Hardie was an American geologist, sedimentologist, and geochemist . Hardie was a professor at Johns Hopkins University in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. His research topics included evaporites, dolomitization, cyclical deposition of carbonate sediments, and plate tectonic driven changes in seawater chemistry. In the latter, he proposed that changes in the seafloor spreading rates at mid-ocean ridges have altered the composition of seawater throughout earth history, producing oscillations in the mineralogy of carbonate and evaporite precipitates. Specifically citing these scientific contributions, the Society for Sedimentary Geology awarded him the Francis J. Pettijohn Medal in 2003.
