Response to History of Geophysics Survey, 1988.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81192728

Thirteen-page autobiographical sketch written in 1985 which covers Rodger's early home environment and education, his undergraduate and graduate career at Cornell University, his Ph.D. studies at Yale University and work for the U.S. Geological Survey, forty years of teaching at Yale, his broader scientific and non-scientific interests, and his scientific contributions. File also includes a questionnaire, curriculum vitae, and a 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.
