Series Description,
Inventory Robert Elmer Horton was born in Parma, Michigan on May 18th,
1875. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree from Albion College in
1897. Horton’s interest and aptitude for Geophysical Studies resulted
in his appointment as the New York District’s Engineer of the U.S.
Geological Survey in 1900. His studies of the New York waterways, as
well as his experiments in infiltration, evaporation, interception,
transpiration, and overland flow resulted in some of the most important
publications for meteorologists of the era. His masterpiece of four
laws detailing the prevention of erosion was published one month before
his death on April 22, 1945.
