Cornelia Clermont Cameron (1911–1994)[1] was an American geologist who researched peat as a soil additive and energy source. In 1945 she wrote "The Earth in Human Affairs," which relates geology with society, and many other papers on the subject. While starting her career in USGS, she worked in the Military Geology Branch. In her lifetime she visited over 30 countries for field work on water resources. As a specialist in peat she became a member of the Branch of Eastern Resources since 1969.[2][3]
