Arthur Holmes, an English geologist, made significant contributions to two key areas of geology. He introduced the use of radiometric dating of minerals, a groundbreaking method for determining rock ages. Additionally, Holmes was the first to comprehend the mechanical and thermal aspects of mantle convection, a concept that played a vital role in the acceptance of plate tectonics. His work has had a lasting impact on the field of geology and our understanding of Earth’s processes.
