Lead
Michael Wysession, Washington University, St. Louis
Michael Wysession is associate professor of earth and planetary sciences at
Washington University in St. Louis. An established leader in seismology and
geophysical education, he is noted for his development of a new way to create
three-dimensional images of Earth’s interior from seismic waves. These images
have provided scientists with insights into the makeup of Earth and its evolution
throughout history. Wysession is co-author of An Introduction to Seismology,
Earthquakes, and Earth Structure; the lead author of Physical Science: Concepts
in Action; and co-author of the K-6 Integrated Science textbook program. He
received a science and engineering fellowship from the David and Lucille Packard
Foundation, a National Science Foundation presidential faculty fellowship, and

fellowships from the Kemper and Lily Foundations. He received the Innovation
Award of the St. Louis Science Academy and the Distinguished Faculty Award
of Washington University. In 2005, he had a distinguished lectureship with the
Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology and the Seismological Society of
America. He has an Sc.B. in geophysics from Brown University and a Ph.D. from
