Charles R. Bacon Explained

Charles R. Bacon is an American geologist and volcanologist at the United States Geological Survey in the Volcano Hazards Team, and who is best known for his work on the volcanic history of Crater Lake National Park and Mount Mazama.[1] [2]

Biography

Bacon grew up in Stanford; the son of Stanford University mathematics professor Harold M. Bacon, and his wife and Stanford alumna Rosamond.[3] [4]

Career

Bacon earned his BS in Geology at Stanford in 1970 and his Ph.D. in Geology from University of California, Berkeley in 1975, under the supervision of Ian S.E. Carmichael.[5] After finishing his doctoral thesis, Bacon took up employment with the United States Geological Survey, initially working on the geothermally-active Coso Volcanic Field.>[6] His research spanned physical volcanology, petrology, geochemistry, and the eruptive histories of calderas, notably Crater Lake, Oregon, and Veniaminof and Aniakchak calderas, Alaska Peninsula. Bacon's main contributions to volcanology over many years have been his sustained studies of the volcanic history of Crater Lake and Mount Mazama.[7]

Cynthia Dusel-Bacon

He married Cynthia Dusel, a metamorphic petrologist and field geologist with the Alaska Division of the United States Geological Survey.[8] In August 1997, Dusel-Bacon was mauled by a black bear, while working in the field in Alaska. She lost both arms in the accident, but managed to radio for help and was rescued.[9] Since that time she continued to work as a field geologist, with her husband as "sample collector and bear protector".[10]
