Pues #TalDíaComoHoy, en 1914, fallecía Sir John Murray.

No habrá un despliegue mediático recordando la efeméride, a diferencia de otras #ciencias. Quizá la #geología no vende, una pena, pero la contribución de #Murray al conocimiento del #planeta es indiscutible.

1- John #Murray es conocido por haber participado en el famoso viaje del #Challenger, el inicio de la #oceanografía moderna.

2- También participó en otros trabajos de gran importancia para el posterior desarrollo de la #GeologíaMarina, como por ejemplo este documento escrito por el propio Murray y Alphonse-François Renard, geólogo de @GeologyUGent.
