Andrew Cowper Lawson (July 25, 1861 – June 16, 1952) was a Scots-Canadian geologist who became professor of geology at the University of California, Berkeley. He was the editor and co-author of the 1908 report on the 1906 San Francisco earthquake which became known as the "Lawson Report". He was also the first person to identify and name the San Andreas Fault in 1895, and after the 1906 quake, the first to delineate the entire length of the San Andreas Fault which previously had been noted only in the San Francisco Bay Area. He also named the Franciscan Complex after the Franciscan Order of the Catholic church whose missions used conscripted Native American labor to mine limestone in these areas.

Il est également la première personne à identifier et à nommer la Faille de San Andreas en 1895, et après le tremblement de terre de 1906, le premier à délimiter toute la longueur de la faille de San Andreas qui n'avait auparavant été notée que dans la région de la baie de San Francisco. Il nomme également le Gradient franciscain d'après l'Ordre franciscain de l'Église catholique dont les missions utilisaient la main-d'œuvre amérindienne conscrite pour extraire le calcaire dans ces régions.

  • 앤드루 로슨(Andrew Lawson, 1861년 7월 25일 –1952년 6월 16일)은 미국 캘리포니아 대학교 버클리의 지질학 교수이다. 그는 ‘로슨 리포트’(Lawson Report)로 알려지게 되는 1906년 샌프란시스코 지진에 대한 1908년 보고서의 편집자였으며, 공동저자였다. 그는 또한 1895년 샌앤드리어스 단층을 밝히고, 명명한 최초의 인물이었다. 1906년 지진 이후에는 전에는 단지 샌프란시스코 베이 에어리어로만 알려진 샌앤드리어스 단층의 전체 길이를 정확하게 서술한 최초의 인물이었다. 그는 또한 프랜시스코 복합단층(Franciscan Complex)을 명명하기도 했다.

Lawson var professor i mineralogi och geologi vid University of California, Berkeley och publicerade ett stort antal arbeten på petrografins och den prekambriska geologins områden. Han är främst känd för sin rapport angående jordbävningen i San Francisco 1906 och sina undersökningar över Nordamerikas prekambriska bildningar, i synnerhet sådana dessa är utvecklade i trakterna av Övre sjön.

  • Andrew Cowper Lawson (* 25. Juli 1861 in Anstruther, Schottland; † 16. Juni 1952 in Berkeley, Kalifornien) war ein Professor der Geologie an der University of California, Berkeley. Er war der Erste, der 1895 in der San Francisco Bay Area die San-Andreas-Verwerfung identifizierte. Von ihm stammt der Name, und er war nach dem Erdbeben von San Francisco 1906 der Erste, der ihre gesamte Länge offenlegte, obwohl er ihre Natur niemals völlig erkannte. Er untersuchte und benannte ebenso den Franciscan-Komplex, eine mehr als 1.000 Kilometer lange, stark zerschuppte Gesteinsabfolge eines ehemaligen Akkretionskeils, die die amerikanische Westküste von Oregon im Norden bis nach Südkalifornien aufbaut. Er war Herausgeber und Mitautor des 1908 veröffentlichten Berichts über das San-Francisco-Erdbeben, (de)
