A to Z of Earth Scientists was originally intended
to include only Earth scientists who have made
contributions to our understanding of the Earth
since World War II, with emphasis on those who
are currently active or were recently active. It was
intended that there should be a relatively even
distribution across the subdisciplines as well as
geographically, although it was realized from the
outset that there would be more American scientists
included. However, many of the society and
government agency awards are named in honor
of previously active Earth scientists so many of
them are included as well.
