Bevan M. French (1937-2025)

Bevan French is most widely known for his pioneering work in planetary science and the field of impact cratering. He was one of the early workers on terrestrial impact materials along with Gene Shoemaker, Nick Short, Richard Grieve, Dieter Stöffler, Ed Chao, and others, at a time when impacts on the Earth were not considered mainstream – or even possible. Throughout his career Bevan was a champion for impact science, particularly centered on petrography, and geologic observations at terrestrial craters. More…
