May 5 | Grove K. Gilbert by John Weisheit
Grove K. Gilbert (1843–1918) was a foundational American geologist and a “giant” of geomorphology who revolutionized the understanding of landscape evolution, erosion, and sedimentation. He was also a planetary geologist and atmospheric scientist. His language skills helped establish nomenclature for geologic specimens and features. Gilbert established the first hydrology laboratory at Berkeley, California. He served twice as president of the Geological Society of America, was chief geologist during the formative years of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and was a founding member of the National Geographic Society.
