Heinrich <[email protected]> To: [email protected] 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. Dr. Donald L.
