Notes
The Carnegie Institution of Washington retains its legal name, but, since 2007, has referred to itself as the Carnegie Institution for Science. On its history see especially The Earth, the Heavens, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington, edited by Gregory A. Good (Washington, DC: American Geophysical Union, 1994).
