Robert I. Tilling (shortened to Bob Tilling; born 1935) is a geologist and volcanologist who served as the scientist-in-charge of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory from 1975 to 1976.[1] Tilling worked for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and became an emeritus in 2004.[2] He was born in Shanghai, and did not arrive in the U.S. until 1946.[3] After moving to the U.S., he grew up near San Diego, California.[4]
Tilling attended both Pomona College (B.A.) and Yale University (Ph.D.).[4] In 1971, he worked for NASA's lunar sample program. His service with the U.S. Geological Survey included four years at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, with a stint as head scientist. After his tenure there, he left to work for the USGS out of Reston, Virginia.[5] Tilling also coordinated responses to the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens;[6] following the eruption, he spoke before Congress, stating that consequent eruptions may occur, though they would likely not be as powerful than the original blast.[7]
Tilling was also formerly a consultant to the Indonesian government on volcanic hazards.[8] During his scientific career, he published over 350 papers on geoscience, for audiences both scientific and general,[9] including in Scientific American[10] and Nature.[11]
