 Biographical Note

John Campbell Craddock was a geologist whose field research advanced knowledge of Antarctic bedrock geology. Craddock was born April 3, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois. In 1951, he received a B.A. in Geology from DePauw University. From there, he pursued graduate studies at Columbia University in New York, where he received an M.A. (1953) and a Ph.D (1954). Craddock began his career in geology working for Shell Oil Co. in New Mexico and Wyoming. In 1956, he began teaching at the University of Minnesota, and in 1967, relocated to the University of Wisconsin. With funding from the National Science Foundation, Craddock led field research of several West Antarctic mountain ranges, with special attention paid to the Ellsworth Mountains. Later research subjects included the Alaska Range, Lake Superior, and the Svalbard archipelago. Craddock served on a number of geological/geophysical commissions and professional societies, including the Antarctica Working Group on Geology, the International Geological Congress, and the Geological Society of America. He died on July 23, 2006.
