	Harry Hammond Hess biography
		Harry Hammond Hess was born in New York City on May 24, 1906, and suffered a fatal heart attack in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, on August 25, 1969, while chairing a meeting of the Space Science Board of the National Academy of Sciences.
		Hess was awarded the GSA Penrose Medal in 1966, an honorary doctorate degree by Yale University in 1969, and a posthumous Distinguished Public Service Award by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
		Hess' doctoral dissertation and two of his papers (published in 1941 and 1960) are considered classics in the study of peridotite complexes.

		Harry Hammond Hess, a professor of geology at Princeton University, was very influential in setting the stage for the emerging plate-tectonics theory in the early 1960s.
		In 1962, Hess was well aware that solid evidence was still lacking to test his hypothesis and to convince a more receptive but still skeptical scientific community.

	Harry Hess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harry Hammond Hess (1906-1969) was an American geologist.
		He is best known for his theories on sea floor spreading, specifically work on relationships between island arcs, seafloor gravity anomalies, and serpentinized peridotite, suggesting that the convection of the earth's mantle was the driving force behind this process.
		Hess was also involved in the Mohole project (1957 - 1966), an investigation onto the feasibility and techniques of deep sea drilling.

		Harry Falk couldn't keep up the payments on the mortgage and the bank foreclosed and it was sold and bought by a lawyer and big landowner from Lexington, Missouri, Frank Catron, and a former newspaperman from Kansas City, Doug Meng.
		But Harry Truman had the ability to meet people and to convince them that he was interested and on a man to man basis he was at least the equal of either of the other two.

	Hess, Harry Hammond
		Hess, Harry Hammond (1906-1969), sixth Blair Professor of Geology, did his undergraduate work at Yale (B.S. 1931), where according to his own -- possibly apocryphal -- account, he failed his first course in mineralogy and was told there was no future for him in that field.
		During the thirties Hess participated in submarine gravity studies of the West Indies island arc, and, in order to facilitate operations on Navy submarines, he acquired a commission as lieutenant, junior grade, thus initiating a long association with the United States Naval Reserve, where he ultimately rose to the rank of rear admiral.
		In 1960 Hess made his single most important contribution, which is regarded as ``part of the major advance in geologic science of this century.'' In a widely circulated report to the Office of Naval Research, he advanced the theory, now generally accepted, that the earth's crust moved laterally from long, volcanically active oceanic ridges.

	Introduction to Plate Tectonics
		Harry Hess proposed that new ocean floor is formed at the rift of mid-ocean ridges.
		Hess suggested that the ocean floor moved laterally away from the ridge and plunged into an oceanic trench along the continental margin.
		A trench is a steep-walled valley on the sea floor adjacent to a continental margin.

	AllRefer.com - Hess, Harry Hammond Information
		Hess was born in New York and studied at Yale and Princeton, where he eventually became professor.
		Building on the recognition that certain parts of the ocean floor were anomalously young, and the discovery of the global distribution of midocean ridges and central rift valleys, Hess suggested that convection within the Earth was continually creating new ocean floor, rising at midocean ridges and then flowing horizontally to form new oceanic crust.
		Hess envisaged that the process of seafloor spreading would continue as far as the continental margins, where the oceanic crust would slide down beneath the lighter continental crust into a subduction zone, the entire operation thus constituting a kind of terrestrial conveyor belt.

	Seafloor Spreading, Part 1
		The concept that the Mid-Atlantic Ridge represents is referred to as seafloor spreading and was championed by a Princeton University geologist, Harry Hess (1906-1969).
		Admiral Hess (he served in the Pacific in World War 2 and reached the rank of Rear Admiral in the Naval Reserve) met resistance with his hypothesis of seafloor spreading.
		Hess was undaunted and in the next few years he and other geologists were able to prove nearly all the points in his hypothesis.

	Harry Hess - Just Another Day :: Not Lame Recordings - power pop and melodic rock record label, music and CDs

		"Hess delivers what I have been expecting from him: material that can be described as melodic pop rock, in some cases tending towards AOR, like it was to be found on Harem Scrarem`s debut album, which is still my favourite to this day.
		Most solo albums see the artist branch out on a different route than the band and Harem Scarem`s Harry Hess is no different.

	About Hess Deep
		Gail Christeson, Kirk McIntosh, and Yosio Nakamura led a scientific cruise on the R/V Maurice Ewing to Hess Deep, located near 2 degrees north in the eastern Pacific.
		The purpose of the seismic survey was to generate a “picture” of the structure of Earth’s crust at Hess Deep from the seismic data, which scientists can compare with the outcrop geology observed by NSF-sponsored submersible dives carried out in 1999 and 2001.
		Hess Deep is named after Harry Hess who developed the hypothesis that new seafloor crust is created by the upwelling and spreading of lava along mid-ocean ridges.
