Charles Gifford = Forgotten Kiwi Scientist – Presented by Robert Rea
By studying World War I battlefields, Charles Gifford who was a teacher
at Wellington College developed the theory that lunar craters were
formed by impacts. At the conclusion of the war the favoured theory
was the lunar craters were volcanic. Gifford used mathematics to
explain how meteors gave rise to craters.
