Cox, Allan V(erne) (1926–1987)

US geophysicist. His paleomagnetic research substantiated evidence of periodic reversals in the earth's magnetic field, confirmed plate tectonic theories of continental drift and sea floor spreading, and led to publication of a new geological time scale in 1982.

He was born in Santa Ana, California. He was a professor of geophysics at Stanford University in 1967, then dean of their School of Earth Sciences in 1979.
