Biography of John H. Mercer

John H. Mercer was born in Cheltenham, England, on 29 October 1922, the third child of Harriet and John W. Mercer. In 1965, Mercer was married to his wife, Mary Fink Mercer, with whom he had one daughter, Jane, who was born in October 1971. During World War II he served in the British Merchant Marine (1940-46) as a radio man. Following the war, he entered the University of Cambridge, where he received a B.A. degree in geography in 1949. He then moved to Canada, where he received his Ph.D. in geography from McGill University (1954).

Mercer was a Research Scholar at the Australian National University in Canberra (1954-56), where he studied land use and population in western Samoa. He returned to Canada and worked in the Canadian Hydrographic Office as a geographer (1957-58). The American Geographical Society employed him at its World Data Center A for Glaciology in New York (1959-60; 1961-62; 1964; 1966). In this capacity, he wrote the Southern Hemisphere Glacier Atlas (1967) and contributed extensively to the Atlas of Mountain Glaciers of the Northern Hemisphere (W.O. Field, editor).

In 1960, he became a Research Associate at The Ohio State University, in the Institute of Polar Studies (later renamed the Byrd Polar Research Center). He remained at The Ohio State University until his death, becoming its first Senior Research Scientist. Through the University, Mercer initiated and took part in numerous field studies, in all manner of locations, to further the study of glacial geology. These included Canada's Baffin Island (1952-1953), Alaska's Prince William Sound (1967), western Greenland (1968), Antarctica (1960-61; 1964-65; 1969-70), notably in the Reedy Glacier and Beardmore Glacier areas of the Transantarctic Mountains, Argentine Patagonia (10 field seasons between 1963 and 1985), the Chilean Channels (11 field programs between 1969 and 1987), as well as the Peruvian Andes (1974, '76, '77 and '81) and New Zealand. With the study the Quaternary Andean glaciations being one of his major research focuses, Mercer's extensive field work in South America, especially concerning the "tropical" Quelccaya Ice Cap in Peru, have been of great importance in synthesizing the spatial variations of global climate change, which was one of the underlying themes of Mercer's research.

His work on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) was also particularly influential in the study of global climate change. Mercer's paper, "Antarctic ice and Sangamon sea level", published by the International Association of Scientific Hydrology (IASH) in 1968, presented glacial geological evidence that the size of WAIS had changed a number of times in the past. If the shelves of ice at the rim of the WAIS were warmed, Mercer contended, the larger mass of ice might then slide into the ocean, disintegrate into icebergs, and raise sea levels. In 1978, Mercer suggested in an article in Nature magazine that global climate change caused by use of fossil fuels could cause this disintegration and sea level to surge by more than 5 metres within 50 years.

Mercer died on July 3, 1987 in Columbus, Ohio. In 2000, Ice Stream A, the southern most of several major ice streams draining from Marie Byrd Land into the Ross Ice Shelf, flowing west to Gould Coast to the south of Whillans Ice Stream, Antarctica was renamed the Mercer Ice Stream in his honor.

Scope and Content

The John H. Mercer Papers consists of approximately 11 cubic feet of materials dating from the 1910s to the 1980s, though the bulk date from the 1950s to the 1980s. The greatest portion of the collection consists of materials that Mercer used in the completion of his research and in conjunction with his numerous expeditions. These materials include manuscripts, articles, data, maps, correspondence, films, photos, slides and field notebooks. There is also a number of personal materials of Mercer's included in the collection.

Further information on the scope and content of the collection is located at the series level.

Acquisition Information

The Byrd Polar Research Center Archival Program acquired the John H. Mercer Papers in two separate accessions in 1999 and 2009.

Processing Information

The first accession was processed by S. Kim in July, 2001. The second accession was inventoried by Archives staff in December, 2009. The collection was reprocessed by Jason Bumbico in September 2012, combining both accessions into one inventory. Further consolidation of the collection occurred in 2016. Efforts were made during the processing to keep materials in the order in which they were received.
