Why Is Robert Millner Shackleton Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Robert Millner Shackleton FRS was a British field geologist who developed an interest in the geology of East Africa. He initiated structural studies across orogenic belts in Tanzania-Zambia-Malawi , major studies across the Limpopo Belt and adjacent Archaean greenstone belts of Zimbabwe-Botswana-South Africa and projects across the orogenic systems of Egypt, Sudan and Kenya . Just prior to his death he was working on a detailed compilation of the Precambrian geology of East Africa. At the age of 75 he led a Royal Society geological traverse across Tibet, in collaboration with the Academica Sinica, Beijing.
