Note: Ron Doel, now of Oregon State University, recorded seven sessions of oral history with me in 1996 and 1997. They include my childhood, education, the development of plate tectonics, and my work on nuclear test verification. Each is available through either the Oral History Research Office of Columbia University or the American Institute of Physics. I was not given the opportunity to correct spelling and other minor mistakes in the AIP transcript before it was placed on their website.
