Biographical / Historical
Norman H. Sleep, born 14 February 1945, is an American geophysicist and professor of
geophysics at Stanford University. He has done internationally recognized research on plate
tectonics and many other areas of geology and planetology. In 1967, Sleep graduated with a
B.S. in mathematics from Michigan State University. He then studied geophysics at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he earned his master's degree in 1969 and
a doctorate in geophysics in 1973. After a brief period as a postdoctoral research associate
at MIT, he joined Northwestern University in 1973 where he was an assistant professor of
geophysics until 1979. From 1979 to 1984 he was an associate professor and from 1984 to 1993
