Li Siguang, also known as J. S. Lee, was a Chinese geologist and politician. He was the founder of China's geomechanics. He made outstanding contributions, which changed the situation of "oil deficiency" in the country, enabling the large-scale development of oil fields to raise the country to the ranks of the world's major oil producers.

Li studied in Osaka Technical College in Japan and the University of Birmingham in UK in his early years. He became a geological professor at Peking University upon his return from abroad in 1920. Li Siguang was Wuhan University building preparatory chairman from July 1928 to April 1938. He was the president of the National Central University (Nanjing University) in 1932.

After the People's Republic of China was established, Li held the positions of vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and minister of geology.

It was through her research that she met her husband and lifelong scientific partner, Karl von Terzaghi, whom she married after receiving her Ph.D. in 1930.

Sir Harold Jeffreys was a British geophysicist who made significant contributions to mathematics and statistics. His book, Theory of Probability, which was first published in 1939, played an important role in the revival of the objective Bayesian view of probability.

Jeffreys studied for the Mathematical Tripos at St John's College, Cambridge, where he established a reputation as an excellent student: obtaining first-class marks for his papers in Part One of the Tripos, he was a Wrangler in Part Two, and in 1915 he was awarded the prestigious Smith's Prize.

In 1914 he became a Fellow of St John's College, and he retained his Fellowship until his death 75 years later. At the University of Cambridge he taught mathematics, then geophysics and finally became the Plumian Professor of Astronomy.

1922 - became assistant lecturer in geology at the University of Bristol. Retired in 1948.

From 1913-1930, Dr Smith undertook annual vacations which would include work at the British Museum (now the Natural History Museum) and much of this work was undertaken with Dr W.D. Lang. He and Lang would mentor students from Cambridge, including Dorothy Hill, who was working on her PhD at Cambridge in the 1930s.

During World War II, extensive bombing of the Bristol Museum damaged a number of the collections Smith worked on. Like many academics he was prevented from continuing his research at the Natural History Museum in London, due to the emergency relocation of its collections for preservation during the War.

1947 - awarded the Geological Society of London's Lyell Medal

Each year, the Stanley Smith Prize, named in his honour, is awarded to the best Level 3 student in palaeontology at the University of Bristol.
