Handbook of Geophysical Exploration at Sea

Dr. Richard A. Geyer has had a diversified career in geophysics and oceanography in both the industrial and academic sectors. He received his B.S. in Geology in 1937 from New York University and his Ph.D. in Geophysics from Princeton University in 1951. Beginning at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (1943-1946), he continued in oceanography as head of the Oceanographic Section of Humble Oil Co., Technical Director of Oceanography at Texas Instruments, and finally as head of the Department of Oceanography at Texas A&M University (1966-1978). His activities in geophysics include periods as manager of the Gravity and Magnetic Departments of Geophysical Service, Inc., and adjunct professor of Marine Geology & Geophysics at the University of Houston. He is presently consulting in Exploration Geophysics and since September 1989 has served as adjunct professor of the Offshore Technology Research Center of Texas A&M University.
