Harry Hess discovered Seafloor Spreading, which helped us better understand geologic time because it explained plate tectonics and how they work. http://www.amnh.org/education/resources/rfl/web/essaybooks/earth/p_hess.html
One geological time scientist is Charles Darwin because he came up with the evolution theory what that means is that people started out as bacteria and it evolved and evolved into the humans.
Henry Hess was one of many scientist who came up with the theory of plate tectonics which now we know today. Which means that he helped us understand what plate tectonics are.
James Hutton was a Scottish geologist who came up with the theory of uniformitarianism which is a principle of geology that explains the features of the Earth's crust by natural processes over geologic time.
Sir Charles Lyell, 1st Baronet, FRS was a British lawyer and the foremost geologist of his day. He is best known as the author of Principles of Geology.
Arthur Holmes was born in Britain on January 14th, 1890. His education includes the Gateshead Higher Grade School (later the Gateshead Grammar School) and the Royal College of Science (now Imperial College) where he graduated by the age of 20 in 1910. He was already published for his work as an undergraduate in radiometric dating by the age of 21. Holmes was the first person to use uranium-lead dating specifically for the purposes of dating a rock when he found the age of a Devonian rock to be 370 Ma. This proclamation was adamantly rejected by the "grey beards" of the time as they were firm believers in the work of Lord Kelvin.
William Buckland was an English theologian who became Dean of Westminster. He was also a geologist and palaeontologist, writing the first full account of a fossil dinosaur, which he named Megalosaurus.
William Smith was born on March 23, 1769, into a family of small farmers. He received little formal education, but from an early age took an interest in exploring and collecting fossils in his native Oxfordshire in England. At the same time, he learned geometry, surveying, and mapping; at the age of eighteen he became an assistant surveyor, learning his trade from the master surveyor Edward Webb.
Without a doubt, Georges Cuvier possessed one of the finest minds in history. Almost single-handedly, he founded vertebrate paleontology as a scientific discipline and created the comparative method of organismal biology, an incredibly powerful tool. It was Cuvier who firmly established the fact of the extinction of past lifeforms. He contributed an immense amount of research in vertebrate and invertebrate zoology and paleontology, and also wrote and lectured on the history of science.
Definition of Lyell, Sir Charles in English: (1797–1875), Scottish geologist. His textbook Principles of Geology (1830-3) influenced a generation of geologists and held that the earth's features were shaped over a long period of time by natural processes, thus clearing the way for Darwin's theory of evolution.
James Hutton moved to Sligh houses, a lowland family farm, in the 1750s. He spent 14 years running the farm. This gave him an interest in how land changed with the forces of wind and rain.
James Hutton was a Scottish geologist, who also was a physician, chemical manufacturer, a naturalist, and a experimental agriculturalist. He was good because he was studying the world around him.
Robert Hooke, (born July 18, 1635, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, Eng.—died March 3, 1703, London), English physicist who discovered the law of elasticity, known as Hooke's law, and who did research in a remarkable variety of fields. In 1655 Hooke was employed by Robert Boyle to construct the Boylean air pump.
best known for his development of the science of stratigraphy. Smith’s great geologic map of England and Wales (1815) set the style for modern geologic maps,
James Hutton moved to Sligh houses, a lowland family farm, in the 1750s. He spent 14 years running the farm. This gave him an interest in how land changed with the forces of wind and rain.
Sir Charles Lyell, 1st Baronet, FRS (14 November 1797 – 22 February 1875) was a British lawyer and the foremost geologist of his day. He is best known as the author of Principles of Geology, which popularized James Hutton's concepts of uniformitarianism—the idea that the Earth was shaped by the same processes still in operation today. Principles of Geology also challenged theories popularized by Georges Cuvier, which were the most accepted and circulated ideas about geology in England at the time.[1]
His scientific contributions included an explanation of earthquakes, the theory of gradual "backed up-building" of volcanoes, and in stratigraphy the division of the Tertiary period into the Pliocene, Miocene, and Eocene. He also coined the currently-used names for geological eras, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. He wrongly conjectured that icebergs might transport glacial erratics, and that silty loess deposits might have settled out of flood waters.[citation needed]
Lyell was one of the first to believe that the world is older than 300 million years, on the basis of its geological anomalies. He was a close friend of Charles Darwin, and contributed significantly to Darwin's thinking on the processes involved in evolution. He helped to arrange the simultaneous publication in 1858 of papers by Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace on natural selection, despite his personal religious qualms about the theory. He later published evidence from geology of the time man had existed on Earth.
