Введение
Американский геолог
Джозиа Эдвард Спурр (1870–1950) был американским геологом, исследователем и писателем. Родившийся в Глостере, штат Массачусетс, в юности он считался неудачником, не пригодным для семейного рыболовного бизнеса, так как во время морских путешествий неизменно страдал от морской болезни. Поскольку он не мог быть таким же продуктивным рыбаком, как его братья, родители решили, что ему лучше поступить в колледж. После учебы в Гарварде он начал свою карьеру в Геологической службе Миннесоты, создав первую геологическую карту великого Месабинского хребта в Миннесоте. В 1896 и 1898 годах Дж. Э. Спурр возглавил две исторически важные экспедиции на Аляску для Геологической службы США, которые проходили без телефонов, самолетов, двигателей внутреннего сгорания или электрических приборов. В 1896 году он возглавил первую экспедицию по картографированию и исследованию внутренних районов Аляски, изучая территорию Юкона, где было обнаружено золото. В 1898 году Спурр спустился по реке Кускоквим, давая названия ранее неизвестным горам, горным хребтам, ручьям, рекам, озерам и ледникам по мере продвижения. В конце Кускоквимской экспедиции он сделал первые научные наблюдения за вулканом Катмай и долиной, которая позже стала известна как "Долина десяти тысяч дымов". Во время этих экспедиций он встречал коренных американцев, алеутов, торговцев, миссионеров, золотоискателей, контрабандистов виски и различных мошенников. Его книги считались определяющими работами по минеральным ресурсам Аляски во время золотой лихорадки. Они читаются как захватывающее приключение, включающее в себя опыт экспедиции с ледяными заторами, обрушивающимися на них, и потерянными припасами, а также взаимодействие с индейцами и миссионерами. После картографирования этих регионов Спурр стал ведущим геологическим консультантом в мире, работая с клиентами, включая султана Турции, Бернарда Баруха и Гуггенхаймов. Он общепризнанно считался одним из ведущих геологов мира и, вероятно, лидером в области экономической геологии (применения геологии к горному делу). В возрасте 68 лет он заинтересовался происхождением кратеров Луны и опубликовал четыре книги, внесшие значительный вклад в эту область. Его последняя книга, "Геология в применении к селенологии", опубликованная всего за год до его смерти, подверглась критике, но оказала влияние на новую область знаний. Он считался превосходным и лаконичным писателем. Он опубликовал более ста статей в научных журналах, книгах и монографиях, а также стихи и книги для широкой аудитории. В его честь названы гора Спурр, очень активный вулкан недалеко от Анкориджа; кратер Спурр на Луне; и минерал spurrite. Многие его документы, переписка и фотографии хранятся в Американском центре наследия Университета Вайоминга; другие сохранились в офисе Геологической службы США в Анкоридже. Его детьми были Эдвард "Тед" Спурр, предприниматель; Джон Спурр, руководитель издательства; Уильям Альфред Спурр, профессор статистики в Стэнфорде; Роберт А. Спурр, профессор химии в Университете Мэриленда; и Стивен Х. Спурр, специалист по лесному хозяйству и лесной экологии и бывший президент Техасского университета в Остине. Недавно была опубликована его биография, написанная Стивеном Спюрром, экономистом и его внуком.
