}}Ursula Bailey Marvin (August 20, 1921 – February 12, 2018)[1][2] was an American planetary geologist and author who worked for the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.[3]

She won the 1997 Lifetime Achievement Award from Women in Science and Engineering.[4] In 1986, the Geological Society of America awarded her their History of Geology Award. She also won the 2005 Sue Tyler Friedman Medal,[5] and Antarctica's Marvin Nunatak is named in her honor. In 2012, the Meteoritical Society awarded her the Service Award[6][7] in part for her work recording the oral history of meteoriticists.[8][9] Asteroid (4309) Marvin is named in her honour.[10]

Life and career

Marvin was born in Bradford, Vermont on August 20, 1921.[11] While studying history at Tufts University, she took a geology class to fulfill her science requirements and was taken by the subject. She asked her geology professor to change majors to geology, but he refused, so she added geology, math and physics courses to her schedule.[11] She graduated with a bachelor's degree in history from Tufts University in 1943.

She then attended Harvard University-Radcliffe, earning a master's degree in geology in 1946.

Following World War II, she moved to Chicago to be a research associate at the University of Chicago.[11] While earning her Ph.D in Geology at Harvard, she worked alongside her second husband, Thomas Crockett Marvin (June 28, 1916 – July 1, 2012), whom she married in 1952, prospecting for ore deposits in Brazil and Angola starting in 1953.[11] After returning to the United States in 1958, she taught mineralogy at Tufts for two years before she was offered a job researching meteorites at Harvard.[11] She was appointed to a permanent research staff position at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in 1961 and received a Ph.D. in Geology from Harvard in 1969.[8]

She authored the 1973 book Continental Drift: Evolution of a Concept[12] and authored over 160 research papers. Her key contributions in planetary science concentrated on studies of meteorites and lunar samples. Her publications include analysis of oxidation products of Sputnik 4 to determine mineralogical alteration over exposure time with applications to iron meteorites.[13] She was also involved with numerous studies of returned samples from both the American and Russian lunar programs, including from the Apollo 12,[14] Apollo 15,[15] Apollo 16[16][17] missions, and from Luna 16[18] and Luna 20.[19]

She traveled to Antarctica for three of the early ANSMET surveys[20] and analyzed the first lunar meteorite, Allan Hills A81005.[21] She was the first woman on the American team that conducted research there.[22] Because of her contributions to research in Antarctica, a small mountain on the ice sheet was named for her, Marvin Nunatak.

She served as a trustee at Tufts University from 1975 to 1985, and was an emerita trustee of the university.[23]
