John Ramsay was a scientific polymath, the finest structural geologist of his generation, with superb field mapping skills and a solid grasp of mathematics and engineering. He was also accomplished as a cellist, painter in oils, runner, cyclist, linguist, poet, cook, skier and rock climber. He was a gifted scientist and aesthete who saw beauty in the natural world and sought it in all his work. His fundamental contributions, in 94 papers and four books, modernized structural geology, enabling us to understand the deformation of rocks in completely new ways. He was ‘Father’ of modern structural geology, great scientist and renaissance man.
