Dr. Donald L. Johnson, who was a wonderful geomorphologist,
geologist, soils scientist, and geoarchaeologist, passed away on
Friday May 10 according to Dr.  Bruce L. Rhoads, Department of
Geography, University of Illinois. He and  Jennifer Horwath Burnham
were recently awarded the G.K. Gilbert Award for Excellence in
Geomorphic Research from the Association of American
Geographers for their GSA Special Paper on Mima Mounds.
He published extensively on pimple mounds and about the role of
biota in soil and landform evolution. This research resulted in his
dynamic denudation-biomantle theory. He also published
numerous papers on geomorphology, soil science, Quaternary
geology, and geoarchaeology.

I first met him as an MS student at University of Illinois. Ever
since then, he was a wonderful colleague and friend, and is
greatly missed.
