Who is Eskola, Pentti (1883–1964) Finnish Geologist

<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Pentti Eskola was one of the first Finnish geologists who applied physicochemical

ideas to the study of metamorphism. He laid down

the foundations for later studies in metamorphic petrology.

Eskola was born in Lellainen and became a chemist at the University

of Helsinki before specializing in petrology. In the early

1920s he worked in Norway and in Washington, D.C., in the

United States. He then taught at Helsinki from 1924 to 1953.

Throughout his life Eskola was interested in the study of metamorphic

rocks, taking early interest in the Precambrian rocks

of England. Relying heavily on Scandinavian studies, he wanted

to define the changing pressure and temperature conditions

under which metamorphic rocks were formed. His approach

allowed for the comparison of rocks of widely differing compositions

in respect of the pressure and temperature under

which they had originated.
