Allan Cox

Allan Cox was a renowned American geologist and pioneer in the study of plate tectonics and large-scale Earth processes. His work helped deepen understanding of how Earth's structure and continental movements shape the planet's geology. Cox's research focused on the history of Earth's crust, including the formation and breakup of supercontinents, and he contributed significantly to elucidating the dynamic nature of the Earth's surface. His insights have advanced scientific knowledge of Earth's geological evolution, influencing how we understand earthquakes, mountain-building, and the Earth's deep-time history.
