William J. Hinze studies the geophysics of the Earth's crust, with a particular focus on the Midcontinent Rift System in North America—an ancient, buried crack in the continent's crust. His work uses magnetic and gravity measurements to understand large-scale geological structures and also includes historical accounts of how magnetic exploration methods developed in North America.
