Eric J. Essene (April 26, 1939,
Penrose Medal by the Geological Society of America
.
[1] He was a leader in the development of geothermobarometry as a tool in understanding the rock assemblages of high grade metamorphic suites and the evolution of continental crust.[2][3]
Essene earned his BS in geosciences from the
Cambridge University and Australian National University
after gaining his doctorate from Berkeley, then began his long career in teaching and research at the University of Michigan in 1970.
The mineral Esseneite[4] was named for Essene.
