Clement le Neve Foster
Sir Clement le Neve Foster FRS (March 23, 1841 – April 19, 1904) was an English geologist and mineralogist.
== Life and work ==

Le Neve Foster was born at Camberwell, the second son of Peter le Neve Foster (for many years secretary of the Society of Arts). After receiving his early education at Boulogne and Amiens, he studied successively at the Royal School of Mines in London and at the mining college of Freiburg in Saxony. In 1860 he joined the Geological Survey in England, working in the Wealden area and afterwards in Derbyshire. Conjointly with William Topley (1841-1894) he communicated to the Geological Society of London in 1865 the now classic paper ''On the superficial deposits of the Valley of the Medway, with remarks on the Denudation of the Weald''. In this paper the sculpturing of the Wealden area by rain and rivers was ably advocated. Retiring from the Geological Survey in 1865, Foster devoted his attention to mineralogy and mining in Cornwall, Egypt and Venezuela, becoming a lecturer for the Miners Association and secretary of the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society.
In 1872, he was appointed an inspector of mines under the home office for the southwest of England, and in 1880 he was transferred, at his own request, to the N. Wales district. In 1890, upon the death of Sir Warington Smyth, he was appointed professor of mining at the Royal College of Science and he held this post until the close of his life. His later work is embodied largely in the reports of mines and quarries issued annually by the home office. He was distinguished for his extensive scientific and practical knowledge of metalliferous mining and stone quarrying. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1892 and was knighted in 1903. From 1901-1902 he was President of the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall. While investigating the cause of a mining disaster in the Isle of Man in 1897, his constitution suffered much injury from carbon monoxide gas, and he never fully recovered from the effects. He died in London, on the 19 April 1904.
He published ''Ore and Stone Mining'', 1894 (ed. 5, 1904); and ''The Elements of Mining and Quarrying'', 1903.
