Jon Kalb, born August 17, 1941, in Houston, Texas, was a research geologist with the Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory (Texas Memorial Museum), University of Texas at Austin. He received a pre-doctoral fellowship from the Carnegie Geophysical Laboratory in 1968, a graduate fellowship from Johns Hopkins University in 1969, and a BSc from American University in 1970. ==Early Experience== As a teenager Kalb began his career with a Mexican-American expedition searching for early shipwrecks off the coast of Yucatan. He later joined famed treasure hunter and marine archeologist Bob Marx exploring reefs in the Caribbean. Sidelined by injuries from diving, Kalb was sent to the west coast of South America by the Smithsonian to collect marine fauna. He then joined a team of geologists with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in northwest Colombia mapping a potential route for a sea-level canal, which led him to prospect for gold on the Guinean Shield for the Guyana Geological Survey. While at Johns Hopkins he became interested in the plate tectonics of the Afar Depression, a triple (rift) junction in northeastern Ethiopia. In 1971 he moved to Addis Ababa with his family and over the next seven years explored the Awash Valley in the central and western Afar. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jon Kalb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
