John W. Harbaugh

John Warvelle Harbaugh (1926-2019) was an American geologist who spent most of his professional career at Stanford University devoted to research on mathematical modeling of dynamic systems, sedimentary basin simulation and oil exploration risk analysis. Since 1999, he was Professor Emeritus both at the Geological and Environmental Sciences Department and at the Energy Resources Engineering Department.[2]
