Arnold. (Terminator)
BOUMA
Arnold Bouma stormed into this scene changing our understanding of deepwater systems for ever. His education was shaped by rural schooling, when at the age of 11, during the Second World War, he was sent by his father, a member of the Dutch Resistance movement against the Nazis, to the country to work as a farm hand on his uncle's land milking cows. As a teenager he was befriended by the local museum curator who helped him when he visited the museum to learn about rocks, fossils and minerals. She introduced him to the local gravedigger who helped Arnold understand the rock record and when he helped dig graves they would both look at the shallow stratigraphy of that location. Arnold learnt how to clean the sediment exposed in the sides of the grave pits, learning more about the order of the deposition of the sediment. He and the grave digger also amassed an amazing collection of rocks, extending their local reputation. Arnold remembers his engineer father as a nervous man who angrily remonstrated with him when he took interest in a trench dug by a workman involved with building a bridge under the direction of his father.
Arnold went on to Groningen University as an undergraduate and worked as Kuenen's lab assistant and helping with his now famous flume experiments in the generation of graded beds from turbidites. He also measured the rates at which cobbles were rounded. Arnold then entered the Dutch Army to spend time in Germany as a surveyor. When he left the army Arnold then enrolled as a graduate student at Utrecht to earn his M.S. degree in geology, sedimentology and paleontology in 1959 and a Ph.D. in sedimentary geology under Professor D.J. Doeglas in 1961. As a graduate student Arnold continued to sit in the outer office of Kuenen’s lab and at Kuenen’s prompting studied the Arnot Sandstone in the South of France. In 1962, he acquired a Fulbright post-doctoral fellowship to work with Shepard at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. Here he met with Bob Dill who introduced him to diving in the submarine canyon off La Jolla. Arnold worked with the ideas of Kuenen and Shepard and the results of his field work in the Annot-Peria-Cava areas of southern France, proselytizing the importance to turbidites and the deepwater setting in which they accumulate (Bouma,1959a&b; Bouma, 1962)
