Subject: if someone has time, could they help as my grade and career depend on it?

     Hello, I am sorry to bother you, but I am a student at College of
DuPage in the process of completing an introductory earth science course.
All of the good students are already done with the class but me and my
fellow slackers are desprately trying to finish.  One of my course
requirements is to interview a research scientist in the earth sciences and
to produce a biography of that scientist as well as a synopsis of his or her
research.  I hope that you can help me out by taking the time to give some
short answers to these questions.
    There's really nothing in it for you...except the warm glow that you
will get from helping out a fellow lover of the sciences.  Thanks so much.
