Earth Sciences

Leonard Hawkes was a British geologist born August 6, 1891, who died October 29, 1981, and who served as head of the geology department at Bedford College, London, from 1921 to 1956. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, served as president of the Geological Society of London, received the Murchison Medal in 1946, and received the Wollaston Medal in 1962. His own Wikipedia article is a short stub carrying little further detail of his specific research, so this description reports only what that source supports.
