Abstract
Keith Edward Bullen has made outstanding contributions to geophysical science by his researches on seismology and the nature of the Earth's interior. He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1906, and attended the University of New Zealand, where he was granted the degrees of M.A. (with 1st Class Honors) in Mathematics, and B.Sc. in Physics. In 1927 he was appointed Lecturer in Mathematics at Auckland University College. Dr. Bullen's interest in seismology arose especially through the occurrence in 1931 of New Zealand's worst earthquake, and his meeting with Sir Harold Jeffreys in Cambridge, England, the same year. On leave of absence from Auckland, he spent two years as a research student at St. John's College, Cambridge, working with Jeffreys. Subsequently the University of Cambridge recognized his ability in Earth science by awarding him the Ph.D. degree and later the Sc.D. degree.
