Who is Dewey, John F. (1937– ) British Tectonicist, Structural

Geologist John F. Dewey received his Ph.D. from the University

of London in 1960. He is a distinguished professor

and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. John

Dewey was one of the early scientists to pioneer the development

of the plate tectonic paradigm, offering explanations of

the Appalachian mountain belt in terms of plate tectonics and

later expanding his studies to a global scale. He presented

plate tectonic concepts in a kinematic framework, clearly

describing many phenomena for the first time. His basic

interests and knowledge are in structural geology and tectonics

from the small-scale materials science of deformed rocks

to the large-scale origin of topography and structures. Ongoing

field-based research is on the rock fabrics and structures

of transpression and transtension, especially in California,

New Zealand, Norway, Ireland, and Newfoundland. Evolving

interests are in the neotectonics of California and Nevada

in the relationship between faulting, topography, and sediment

provenance, yield, and distribution. Derivative interests are in

the geohazard of volcanoes, earthquakes, and landslides.
