Harry E. Wheeler
Harry Eugene Wheeler (1907 – 26 January 1987) was an American geologist and stratigrapher. Eric Cheney called him "the chief theoretical architect of sequence stratigraphy"〔Cheney, E. (1987). Memorial to Harry Eugene Wheeler, 1907–1987. ''Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources Bulletin'' 77, p 393–395.〕
Wheeler was a professor of geology at the University of Washington from 1948 until 1976.〔Illman, Deborah L. (1996). (Pathbreakers: A Century of Excellence in Science and Technology at the University of Washington. ) Office of Research, University of Washington.〕
==Work on stratigraphy==
Wheeler's work in the 1950 and 1960s was pivotal in the later development of sequence stratigraphy, which is still used today, for example by petroleum industry geologists.〔Romans, Brian (2007). (Theoretical Stratigraphy #1: Wheeler’s baselevel ). Post on Clastic Detritus geoblog.〕 His 1964 paper, ''Baselevel, Lithosphere Surface, and Time-Stratigraphy''〔Wheeler, Harry E. (1964). Baselevel, Lithosphere Surface, and Time-Stratigraphy. ''Geological Society of America Bulletin'' 75 (7), p. 599-610. .〕 evolved the concept of base level to emphasize the continuous spatial and temporal nature of stratigraphy, eventually giving rise to ''Wheeler diagrams'':
But what of stratigraphic discontinuities as manifestations of nondeposition and accompanying erosion? Here we pass into the realm of no less important but completely abstract, area-time framework, in which a discontinuity takes on ‘area-time’ configuration in the form of the lacuna, which in turn, consists of hiatus and degradation vacuity.
