Pioneering and versatile theoretical geophysicist.

Tony Dahlen, probably the most important theoretical geophysicist of his generation, died on 3 June 2007, in Princeton, New Jersey. His seminal research on topics as far apart as seismology, Earth's rotation and the growth of mountains exerted a lasting influence on modern geophysics.
