  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Sir Harold Jeffreys is a world authority in theoretical geophyiscs. hew as born in Northumbria (northeast of England) and educated at Armstrong College (now the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne) and Cambridge University. He is now a Senior Fellow of St.John's College, Cambridge. He has published over 300 scientific papers and is the author of 7 books, including &lt;i&gt;Theory of Probability &lt;/i&gt;and&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Mathematical&amp;nbsp;Physics &lt;/i&gt;(with his wife, Lady Bertha Swirles Jeffreys)&lt;i&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;Sir Harold has made innumerable theoretical contributions to seismology. Many of these are documented in his book&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;The Earth&lt;/i&gt;, which has been published in six editions. His papers have recently been collated by Gordon and Breach (Publishers) into six volumes,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Collected Papers on Sir Harold Jeffreys on Geophyiscs and other Sciences.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;Some idea of the breadth of this research can be seen from the individual volume titles: "Theoretical and Observational Seismology," "Observational Seismology," "Gravity," "Dissipation of Energy and Thermal History," "Astronomy and Geophysics," and "Matematics, Probability and Miscellaneious Other Sciences."&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
