Johnson, Douglas (Wilson) (1878–1944) geomorphologist, geographer; born in Parkersburg, W.Va. After earning his Ph.D. from Columbia University, he taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1903–07) and Harvard University (1907–12) where he met William M. Davis, the leading expert in geomorphology, then returned to teach at Columbia. Intensely patriotic, he was commissioned a major by army intelligence during World War I and studied the effect of land formation on military strategy in Europe. A professor at Columbia (1919–44), he published The Shore Processes and Shoreline Development (1919) and New England-Acadian Shoreline (1925), later founding the Journal of Geomorphology (1938–42).
