Atmospheric electricity at Durham: the scientific contributions and legacy of J. A. ("Skip") Chalmers (1904-1967)
Abstract. John Alan Chalmers made major contributions to atmospheric electricity over
almost 40 years spent at Durham University, UK. He is particularly remembered
in the atmospheric science community for his accessible and insightful
textbook, Atmospheric Electricity, and his work on corona currents,
which are still regularly cited. He also supervised over 35 research
students. This article discusses his background, scientific contributions,
and significant legacy to modern atmospheric science within the context of a
long and productive career spent at one of England's principal northern
universities.
期刊介绍:
The scope of History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS) is to document historical facts and knowledge and to improve awareness of the history of geoscience. The knowledge of the development of geosciences and their experimental methods and theories in the past can improve our current understanding and may stimulate current research. It is encouraging for young scientists to read biographical material of historical figures in their research area. It is important as well to learn that history of science is an integrated part of the ongoing research in their research area. Another important aim of the journal is the association of historical retrospective and current research.
