Lawrence Alexander Hardie (January 13, 1933 – December 17, 2013) was an American geologist, sedimentologist, geochemist. He most recent work revolutionized our understanding of seawater chemistry change over geologic time. For nearly 50 years, he mentored students and pursued research as a Professor at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. He mentored to successful completion 28 Ph.D. and 10 M.A. students, many of whom are highly active in academia, industry, and government. He also helped, in one way or another, many more. His field work took him to points around the globe, including the Dolomites in northeastern Italy, the Florida Keys, Death Valley California, Baja California Mexico, and nearly every state in the U.S. He authored or co-authored numerous scientific papers and several books. He died at age 80 from complications of Alzheimer's disease on Dec. 17, 2013 at the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey, California.


Early life and education

He was born in Durban, Natal, South Africa, in 1933. He was raised by his mother, Irene Hardie, who was a seamstress. His formative years were influenced by his family’s tenuous financial conditions as well as the social and political upheavals in his home country. He was deeply opposed to apartheid.

He attended Durban Boy's High School, Form II through Form VI, and matriculated with a First Class Pass in the South African National Examination in 1950. Unable to afford to go full time to the University of Natal, Durban, he started work as a laboratory assistant in a paint factory and took courses toward a B.Sc. degree in the night school division of the university. Later he obtained a position as a laboratory assistant in the South African Paint Industries Research Institute on the main campus of the University of Natal, Durban, where he was able to take one course per semester during working hours.

He was inspired to pursue geology after attending lectures by the eminent South African geologist Lester King[1]. In addition to his new found passion for geology, soccer was a big part of Lawrence's life during this time. As a student, he was selected as a member of the South African Universities "All Star" team four times. He earned a B.Sc. degree in Geology and Chemistry in 1955, and a B.Sc. (Hons.) degree in Geology in 1956. In 1957, he was hired by Dr. King as an Instructor and began by teaching beginning classes in geology (wearing a black gown, as was the custom). At the same time he started to work on his Master's thesis on the origin of the Table Mountain Sandstone. He earned an M.Sc. in Geology in 1959 under the guidance of Drs. Peter Matthews and Joseph Frankel.

In 1960, he was awarded a Fellowship by the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research to spend an academic year in the U.S. He applied to work with Dr. Francis Pettijohn at Johns Hopkins and was accepted as a special student. However, he became very interested in the work Dr. Hans Eugster was doing in a newly built geochemistry laboratory. With Dr. Pettijohn's support, he soon turned to doing experimental work on evaporite minerals. Near the end of his second semester he was offered a full-time graduate fellowship to earn a Ph.D. He briefly returned to South Africa to marry Glenys Kathleen Smith in Durban. He worked as a science teacher at his old high school, and as a semi-professional soccer player, to earn enough money to pay for their return airfares. They lived in a small apartment near JHU while Lawrence continued his studies.

Upon graduating with a Ph.D. under Hans Eugster at the end of 1964, he was offered a position as an Assistant Professor at Hopkins. Both Lawrence and Glenys became U.S. citizens and they had two children, Debora and Russell. Lawrence shared his love of the natural world and of science with his children. Debora obtained a degree in mathematics at JHU, and Russell studied engineering at nearby Loyola University Maryland. His son Russell is currently a Professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Dayton and credits his father as his inspiration for pursuing a career in academia.

After completing his doctoral work, he entertained offers from several prestigious academic institutions, including his Alma mater. He elected to stay at Johns Hopkins University. He joined the faculty in 1965 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. He worked his way through the academic ranks to Full Professor. He also served as the department Chair from 1992-1995, and again from 2004-2006. He retired in 2007 to the status of Professor Emeritus.

In the words of former student and colleague Dr. Linda Hinnov, "Lawrie Hardie made invaluable contributions to the educational mission of Johns Hopkins, by taking undergraduate students out of the classroom and into the field, allowing them to witness geologic processes firsthand at far-flung locations." For many summers in the 1960s and 1970s, he ran a field lab, Camp Singewald, near Clearspring, west of Hagerstown. There he instructed undergraduate and graduate students in the Central Appalachian region. He also made arrangements with neighboring farmers to visit rock outcroppings in their fields. In the spring semester, he took students to the tidelands of Wachapreague, Va., south of Assateague, where he boated to remote areas to show them wave deposits and dunes. He also studied limestone in the Florida Keys and visited the Gulf of California. He once undertook studies on a remote island of the Bahamas, but found he was unwelcome when illegal drug traffickers seized control of the spot. He also spent months in the Dolomites in Italy. He was no stranger to long hikes and climbs. Some of his field work required the use of special modes of transportation including Zodiac inflatable boats, minibikes, and 3-wheeled all terrain vehicles (see photo).

According to JHU University News (January 28, 2014) [2], "Hardie was beloved at Johns Hopkins for his devotion to students at all levels. He was a mentor to more than 30 Ph.D. students, many who have since gone on to leadership positions in academia, industry, and government." Many of these students became enduring friends and colleagues, and continued their collaborations long after graduation. In addition to work with graduate students, Dr. Hardie also taught an evening-school introductory course in geology that was popular with students who needed to fulfill a science requirement. There, Hardie enjoyed sharing his passion for geology to a wide audience that included, at one time or another, both of his children.

The Baltimore Sun (Jan. 17, 2014)[3] quotes a close department colleague, Dr. Peter Olson, as follows: "For nearly 50 years, he inspired students and colleagues through his devotion to science, personal integrity, and commitment to the welfare of others. His legacy was his mentoring of his students. Geology is different from other fields in academia. His forte was taking students into the field and showing them the geological formations that could never have been experienced in a classroom." Dr. Olson goes on to say that "Dr. Hardie passed his knowledge to his students with firsthand guidance, observations and generous assistance."

Personal life

He enjoyed jazz and attended concerts at the Famous Ballroom in Baltimore. After moving to Pasadena from Windsor Hills in the mid-1970s, Lawrence enjoyed sailing on the Magothy River and the Chesapeake Bay. He taught his children and many of his students to sail. He later took up snow skiing and was an avid golfer. He became proficient in both of these activities. He was married to Glenys Hardie for 52 years, had two children, and five grandchildren.

Scientific achievements

Secular variation in seawater chemistry

Dr. Linda Hinnov describes Lawrence Hardie as internationally known for his deep insight into geological processes. His comprehensive study of evaporite sediments led to the hypothesis, since verified, that seawater has undergone long-term variations in its major ion composition[4][5]. He also demonstrated that these seawater variations are linked to plate tectonic processes at mid-ocean ridges. Together, these revolutionized the study of calcifying marine organisms and their role in the global carbon cycle. In recognition, he was awarded in 2003 the Francis J. Pettijohn Medal for Excellence by the Society for Sedimentary Geology. This seawater chemistry work is perhaps Hardie's most far-reaching contribution - with implications for geochemistry, mineralogy, tectonics, biological evolution (biomineralization), oil/gas resources, and climate change. Research and experimentation with evaporites, that took place early in his career, have formed the foundation for the seawater chemistry hypothesis. Dr. Hardie advocated that the signal from evaporites may be the most robust evidence for seawater chemistry change. In particular, the observed secular changes in the mineralogy of potash evaporites and ooids and cements in marine limestones [6][7] [8].

Carbonates research

Hardie's work on carbonates began with field research on the modern shallow marine carbonates of the Bahamas with Bob Ginsburg and others [9]. Hardie's 1977 book [10] on the Bahamas work is considered by one reviewer a "masterpiece" of comparative sedimentology that remains one of the premier works on carbonate sedimentology to this day. This early work evolved into the study of ancient carbonates of western Maryland (Cambro-Ordovician) [11] and the Italian Dolomites (Triassic)[12] [13] [14]. Hardie's work on carbonates may be equally as far-reaching as the one on seawater chemistry, for understanding climate and sea level change, and the role of Milankovitch cycles in carbonate deposition.

Origin of dolomite

Hardie's investigations into the origins of dolomite may also count among his greatest scientific contributions [15] [16]. Dolomite is a unique mineral in the carbonates catalog, and its occurrence in the geologic record has puzzled many generations of geologists. It is intimately associated with the world's oil reserves: when dolomite replaces calcite minerals, its slightly smaller molar volume leaves voids in carbonate rock, wherein oil tends to migrate. In the Dolomites, Hardie (with student Edith Wilson)[17] demonstrated the hydrothermal origin of dolomite in the Triassic Latemar buildup. This revolutionized the paradigm of dolomite formation, leading to new discoveries about the nature of geological fluids and their chemical imprint on the rock record.

Depositional cycles and composite sea level changes

With regard to cyclic sedimentation, a major discovery of Hardie and his students and colleagues, was that platform carbonates of the Middle Triassic (Anisian-Ladinian) of the Latemar buildup consist of a vertical stack of over 500 thin (ave. thickness 0.6-0.85m) shallowing-upward depositional cycles that record high frequency eustatic sea level oscillations in tune to Milankovitch astronomical rhythms[18][19][20]. Each cycle consists of a basal shallow subtidal limestone capped by a thin (<0.15m) vadose dolomitic crust or caliche that records one submergence-emergence oscillation of duration about 20ky and amplitude on the order of a few meters. These 104y cycles are grouped into five-part megacycles (up to 5m thick and of 105y duration) characterized by progressive upward thinning of successive cycles within each megacycle. Repetitive bundling into sets of five cycles was demonstrated by autocorrelative time series analyses and Fischer plots. High resolution multitaper spectral analysis was used to show that the cyclostratigraphy was consistent with sea level oscillations with 20ky, 41ky, 53ky, 95ky and 100ky periodicities, within 5% of the Milankovitch lines predicted by recent astronomical calculations. Computer simulations showed that the Latemar cyclostratigraphy could be quantitatively reproduced using Milankovitch-controlled sea level oscillations.
