	Inge Lehmann biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		By 1928, Lehmann was named the first chief of the seismology department of the newly established Royal Danish Geodetic Institute, a position she held for 25 years.
		Later, Lehmann established herself as an authority on the structure of the upper mantle.
		In 1971, Inge Lehmann was presented with the William Bowie Medal, the American Geophysical Union's highest honor, which is granted to a scientist who has made fundamental contributions to the study of geophysics and who has lived up to the AGU ideal of unselfish cooperation in research.

	World of Earth Science \| Lehmann, Inge (1888-1993)
		Throughout her long career, which extended far beyond her official retirement in 1953, Lehmann conducted research in Europe and North America and was active in international scientific organizations including serving as the first president and a founder of the European Seismological Federation.
		Lehmann was one of two daughters born to Alfred Georg Ludvig Lehmann, a University of Copenhagen professor of psychology, and Ida Sophie Torsleff.
		Lehmann continued her research well after her retirement in 1953, exploring the nature of the planet's interior in Denmark, in Canada at the Dominion Observatory in Ottawa and in the United States at the University of California at Berkeley, the California Institute of Technology, and the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University.

		Lehmann studied at Oxford, earned a master's degree in mathematics from the University of Copenhagen, and went to work as an actuary, calculating life expectancies and statistical risks for insurance companies.
		Lehmann was among the founders of the Danish Geophysical Society in 1936, and served as its president from 1941 until 1944.

	Bruce Bolt on Inge Lehmann
		Lehmann later remarked (autobiographical notes), 'They could not be expected to understand, I suppose, that I should have been stronger if I had not been so bored with school work.' She left this splendid Faellesskole in July 1906 after having passed the university entrance examination with the distinction of first class.
		Inge Lehmann had an enormous fund of knowledge and experience about seismology from its early days in this century; in retrospect, it is a great shame that more effort was not made to persuade her to write up her reminiscences in more detail (28).
		Inge Lehmann was one of the founders in 1936 of the Danish Geophysical Society and chaired the organization in 1941 and 1944.

	Scientist Wins Inge Lehmann Medal
		Inge Lehmann was a Danish seismologist whose painstaking examination of seismograph records and ability to discard unessential detail led to her discovery of the Earth’s inner core, one of the most important advances in our knowledge of the Earth’s interior.
		Lehmann later went on to become an authority in the structure of the upper mantle of the Earth.

		Denmark’s Inge Lehmann was the first to demonstrate the existence of a change in composition midway through the core, dividing it into an inner core and an outer core.
		The paper in which she reported her findings has one of the shortest titles in the history of seismology, if not of all science: It was called “P.” Lehmann was among the founders of the Danish Geophysical Society in 1936, and served as its president from 1941 until 1944.
		Inge Lehmann died in February, 1993, at the age of 105, leaving a worldwide network of friends.

	Inge Lehmann: Discoverer of the Earth's Inner Core
		Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann “the only Danish seismologist,”; as she once referred to herself—studied the shock waves and was puzzled by what she saw.
		Lehmann’s hypothesis was confirmed in 1970 when more sensitive seismographs detected waves deflecting off this solid core.
		When Lehmann received the William Bowie medal in 1971, the highest honor of the American Geophysical Union, she was described as “the master of a fl art for which no amount of computerizing is likely to be a complete substitute.” Lehmann lived to be 105.

		The award is given for outstanding contributions to the understanding of the structure, composition, and dynamics of the Earth's mantle and core.
		It was only after her retirement at the age of 65, having discovered the inner core some 17 years earlier, that she embarked on the systematic study of upper mantle structure which resulted in the naming of the Lehmann discontinuity in her honor.
		Trained in mathematics, committed to recording and acquiring data, intimately acquainted with the detailed interpretation of seismograms, Inge Lehmann was a model geophysicist of her own or any other generation.

		She also wrote a book called P, which dealt with P waves and other aspects of seismography.

		After 12 years of undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Copenhagen and University of Cambridge, studies that were interrupted by 6 years of full-time actuarial work, she earned a second master's degree in 1928, in geodesy, from the University of Copenhagen.

		During the next two decades, scientists ascertained the size of the core and determined that it is a fluid.
		In 1936 the pioneering Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann discovered within the fluid core an apparently solid inner core slightly smaller than the moon and almost four times as dense.
		Four years later the geophysicist Francis Birch deduced that the inner core is a crystalline alloy of iron and nickel; his reasoning seemed correct within the framework of what was known at the time.
