Harry Hammond Hess (May 24, 1906 – August 25, 1969) was an American geologist and a United States Navy officer in World War II who is considered one of the "founding fathers" of the unifying theory of plate tectonics.
This process is called plate tectonics, and it transformed the thinking of geologists. One of them, Harry Hess, was an instrumental figure in figuring out how plate tectonics worked. Hess possessed two valuable skills: careful attention to detail and the ability to form sweeping hypotheses.

23 Μαΐ 2018 · Hess, Harry Hammond (1906–69) An American geophysicist from Princeton University, Hess made important contributions to the theory of plate tectonics. He devised the concept of sea-floor spreading (see also DIETZ, ROBERT SINCLAIR), and discovered and named guyots.

no small measure to Hess’s insight and leadership—was underway. Years after his death, Harry Ham-mond Hess remains a larger-than-life figure. Anecdotes about him abound in Guyot Hall, the crenellated, turn-of-the-century home of the university’s Department of Geo-logical and Geophysical Sciences, where he was a fixture for 40 years.
