Hello All, It is with profound sorrow that we acknowledge the passing of Peter Robinson. The University of Massachusetts Department of Geosciences' note follows: "We are deeply grieved to bid farewell to Emeritus Professor Peter Robinson, who passed away earlier this week in Trondheim, Norway, his home for the past 2 decades. Over his 50+ year career, Pete advised dozens of students, compiled, and personally performed bedrock geologic mapping of over a 3rd of the state of Massachusetts. He was an influential force in the study of the tectonics and metamorphism of the Northern Appalachians and Caledonides, and a beloved character both in the department and New England geological community. His legacy is one of impeccable and detailed field observation combined with nuanced structural, stratigraphic, mineralogical, and petrological analysis, innumerable alumni spread across several continents, and a library of data on the bedrock geology of New England." Pete was a former president of the Mineralogical Society of America and a frequent contributor to the American Mineralogist. On a personal note, when I first met Pete (and Oystein Nordgulen) at the Norwegian survey after my first field season in the Uppermost Allocthon, his encouragement and enthusiasm were infectious! He was truly a "Trans-Atlantic" geologist with a passion for the New England Appalachians and Norwegian Caledonides. He will be sorely missed!
