Jean Tricart
Jean Tricart (16 September 1920 – 4 May 2003) was a French geomorphologist. In 1948, he became a professor at the University of Strasbourg, where he remained for the rest of his career.[1] The Tricart's doctoral thesis dealt with the Paris Basin and resulted in a publication acclaimed in France.[1] He often collaborated with his friend André Cailleux.[2] From 1962 to 1974, he and Callieux published five works on the subject of geomorphology and climate. Most of his works were published in French.[1]
Tricart considered that he had, 'a broad systems approach to landform genesis.'.[3] This paper is response to Denys Brunsden's 'Tablets of Stone'.[4]
He was awarded the Busk Medal by the Royal Geographical Society in 1985.[5]
