Cornelia Clermont Cameron (1911 – August 5 … Cornelia Clermont Cameron (1911 – August 5, 1994) was an American geologist who researched peat as a soil additive and energy source. Cameron studied at the University of Iowa, where she earned a doctorate in geology and botany. Her interest in geology and her fieldwork took her to over 30 countries. In 1945, she wrote The Earth in Human Affairs, which relates geology with society, and many other papers on the subject. While starting her career in USGS, she worked in the Military Geology Branch. Best known for her advances regarding glacier deposits, Cameron was able to predict the location of peat deposits. Such predictions are useful in the search for water sources prior to developing agricultural lands. As a specialist in peat, she became a member of the Branch of Eastern Mineral Resources since 1969.Before Cameron joined the United States Geological Survey, she was a geology professor at Stephens College in Missouri, teaching earth science courses. During her time at the United States Geological Survey, Cameron received two awards. In 1977, she received the USGS' Meritorious Service Award. This award is the second-highest award and is given to employees who make an important contribution to science or have a notable career, among other criteria. In 1986, she revived the USGS' Distinguished Service Award. This award is the highest award that can be received in the department. Cameron argued for the inclusion of geology in general science courses for non-science majors at universities. She stated that learning about geology provides students with the opportunity to think about themselves in relation to their physical environments, and develop a connection with the elements of nature that they encounter every day. General geology also teaches students skills such as critical thinking and looking for relationships between all things. Cameron created a rough curriculum outline with several objectives that could be divided into units. In the journal article, The Place of Geology In General Education (1944), Cameron compares geology to aviation. She states that students who are studying both geology and aviation have a better understanding because the concepts and maps associated with these areas of study greatly relate to each other. Cornelia Cameron created sketch maps of peat deposits, maps drawn from observations of landscapes without direct measurements. After joining the geological survey in 1951, Cameron concentrated mainly in the military aspects of geology. For the military, Cameron analyzed strategic sites that included analysis of a variety of metrics, including groundwater, suitability for building roads, and suitability for building airports. From 1972 through 1985, she served as vice-chairman of the U.S Committee of the International Peat Society. During this time, she was also a consultant for the Campobello international park commission, which would oversee the Roosevelt Campobello International Park. In the decades leading up to her death, Cameron studied peat as a soil additive and energy source. Her work helped identify more than 70 million tons of peat in the United States. She published dozens of papers on this subject and was senior author on a text talking about peat resources in Maine. Alongside the 66 total papers Cameron had published, she was also a senior author for an army field manual that relates to terrain intelligence.nual that relates to terrain intelligence.
