Comment: Borderline. The subject is clearly prominent in his field, but the article is sketchy about his career - the main sources are a handful of similarly-worded potted histories that give little detail about roles or dates. They also do not provide the required significant coverage in reliable independent secondary sources (per WP:GNG) - they are narratives from organisations to which Harmon is/was affiliated (so primary); other references are just passing mentions or are works by Harmon, not coverage about him. Has he been profiled or interviewed in industry, scientific or other publications? We need sufficient significant coverage to actually write a whole article; "If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page" (WP:WHYN).

Russell Harmon (born 1946 in Ogdensburg, New York) is an American geochemist and academic. He is an adjunct professor of geochemistry at North Carolina State University[1] and former Director of the US Army Corps of Engineers International Research Office.[2]
Early life
editAfter graduating with honors from the University of Texas (Austin) in 1969 with a BA in geology,[3] Harmon received a MS in geochemistry from the Pennsylvania State University in 1972,[3] and a PhD in geology from McMaster University in Canada in 1976.[3]
Career
editHarmon worked in the UK as a geochemist at the NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory (part of British Geological Survey) in Keyworth, and at the Scottish Universities Research and Reactor Centre.[1]
He was a faculty member in the Department of Geological Sciences at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan.[1] He also held positions as a Staff Geochemist and Assistant Curator of the Lunar Receiving Laboratory at the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas.[3]
Harmon was Terrestrial Science Program Manager at the U.S. Army Research Office from 1993 to 2011, when he was appointed as director of the USACE International Research Office, based in London.[2]
Harmon was President of the International Association of Geochemistry from 2007 to 2010,[4] and Chair of the Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, and Volcanology section of the Geological Society of America in 2012.[5]
Research
editRussell Harmon's research spans the origin and evolution of continental arc volcanic rocks and granitoids, with work including studies on arc magmatism in Central America.[6][7] He has also contributed to riverine geochemistry through investigations of silicate weathering and solute chemistry in tropical rivers.[8] Additionally, his stable isotope studies of speleothems have been used in paleoclimatology research.[9]
Awards
editHarmon is a an elected Fellow of the International Association of Geochemistry,[10] Geological Society of America[5] and US National Speleological Society.[11]
