Vào thời điểm đó, hầu hết các bất thường cho trẻ em gái từ lục địa đến học tập tại Vương quốc Anh. Chính của cô là trong thực vật học, và gia sư của mình là Harold Jeffreys, sau đó một Reader bằng Hasselmann: Bạn có nói với tôi rằng bạn có ba anh hùng: Sverdrup, Revelle, và GI Taylor. | 76 11 Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics IGPP 1962-Present hockey at Newnham College from 1912-1914 but had to return to Austria when WWI started. At that time it was most unusual for girls from the Continent to study in the UK. Her major was in botany and her tutor was Harold Jeffreys then a Reader in Botany. 1 2 Hasselmann You have told me that you have three heroes Sverdrup Revelle and . Taylor. Did you meet Taylor at that time Munk Yes. The three have been my role models my teacher Sverdrup my mentor Revelle but if you have to use the word genius Taylor is the one.

In 1986 I participated in a celebration of his hundredth birthday he was then ten years gone and said that everything . had touched turned to gold.

Evidently if an idea did not yield significant results theoretically or experimentally within a month . would set it aside. Letting things go is not a talent I von Storch I have heard you speak of Sir Edward Bullard as one of the people who made IGPP what it is. Munk Yes Teddy played a major role. In his later life he spent winters at IGPP and he died in La Jolla in 1980. By the time I met him he had truly transformed the field of geophysics. In the early 1940 s all the major geophysical tools based on seismology gravity magnetism and geothermal heat flow had been developed for use on land and their application for use at sea was considered to be impossibly difficult. Bullard played a significant role in the adoption of all four methods for work at sea in the cases of heat flow and magnetism he played the .
