HARRY HAMMOND HESS May 24,1906-August 25,1969 BY HAROLD L. JAMES HARRY HAMMOND HESS was one of the truly remarkable earth scientists of this century; indeed it would be dif-ficult to name another of comparable depth, breadth, and impact. His was a rare, perhaps unique talent. It combined far-ranging interests and a brilliant intuiton with a ...
That Harry was pre-eminently an exponent and practitioner of “thinking big” is evidenced by his establishment of the Caribbean Geological Research Project to elucidate the origin of island arcs, sponsorship of the Mohole to drill
This unplanned wartime scientific surveying enabled Hess to collect ocean floor profiles across the North Pacific Ocean, resulting in the discovery of flat-topped submarine volcanoes, which he termed guyots, after the 19th-century geographer Arnold Henry Guyot.
