He retired as the Knox Taylor Professor emeritus of geology and professor of geosciences at Princeton University. [2] He currently serves as a visiting scholar in the ...
Other articles where W. Jason Morgan is discussed: plate tectonics: Determination of plate thickness: Parker of Britain and W. Jason Morgan of the United States resolved these issues. McKenzie and Parker showed with a geometric analysis that, if the moving slabs of crust were thick enough to be regarded as rigid and thus to remain undeformed, their motions on a sphere would lead…
W. Jason Morgan was awarded the National Medal of Science for his development of the theories of plate tectonics and of deep mantle plumes, which revolutionized our understanding of the geological forces that control the earth’s crust and deep interior and consequently influence the evolution of the earth’s life and climate.

Aug. 2017 · In 1967, Jason Morgan discovered the theory of plate tectonics — the idea that rigid plates pave the Earth’s surface, moving relative to one another with the continents and oceans in tow. That January, sitting in his office at Princeton University, Morgan read a new article in Science by the geologist H. William Menard, who had mapped long ...
