Barbara Dutrow (born 1956) is an American geologist who is the Adolphe G. Gueymard Professor of Geology at Louisiana State University. Dutrow wrote the textbook Manual of Mineral Science. Also, she was elected President of the Geological Society of America in 2021.
Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Dutrow is from Chadron, Nebraska.[1] Her father was a General Motors dealer.[1] She has stated that she developed an interest in geology at a young age, and collected purple quartz from Lake McConaughy.[1] She was an undergraduate student at Chadron State College.[2] She moved to Texas for graduate studies, joining the Southern Methodist University and working on vertebrate palaeontology.[3] Dutrow remained at the Southern Methodist University for her doctoral studies, switching her focus to vertebrate paleontology and pleistocene mammoth assemblage.[4] She was appointed an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Fellow at the University of Münster Institut für Mineralogie.[1] After her return in 1989 to the United States, Dutrow was appointed a research associate at the University of Arizona.[citation needed]
Research and career
[edit | edit source]Dutrow joined Louisiana State University as an assistant professor, and was promoted to the Adolphe G. Gueymard Professor in 2002. In 2009 she was elected president of the Mineralogical Society of America, and has remained on the executive committee since.[5]
In 2020, the International Mineralogical Association named a newly discovered mineral in her honour, Dutrowite.[6] The mineral, Na(Fe2+2.5Ti0.5)Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3O, was discovered in the Apuan Alps and formed from the metamorphism of Rhyolite. Of the many tourmaline species, Dutrowite is the only one to be named after a woman.[7] She was elected President of the Geological Society of America in 2021.[8]
