Inge Lehmann ( May 13, 1888 – February 21, 1993), Fellow of the Royal Society (London) 1969, was a Danish seismologist who, in 1936, argued that the Earth must not only have a molten interior, but a solid core at the center, which deflects P waves. She also wrote a book called P, which dealt with P waves and other aspects of seismography. She was awarded the Tagea Brandt Rejselegat twice, in 1938 and 1967. ...more on Wikipedia about "Inge Lehmann"

John Tuzo Wilson, CC , OBE , D.Sc , FRSC ( October 24, 1908– April 15, 1993) was a Canadian geophysicist and geologist who achieved worldwide acclaim for his contribution to the theory of plate tectonics, the assumption that the Earth's crust is comprised of plates floating on magma. As part of his theory, he maintained that the Hawaiian Islands were created as a tectonic plate, extending across much of the Pacific Ocean, shifted slowly in a northwesterly direction over a fixed hotspot, spawning a long series of volcanoes. ...more on Wikipedia about "John Tuzo Wilson"
