Harold G. Coffin got his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California in 1969. One of his more critical works was unraveling the story of the Yellowstone National Park "Fossil Forests" which led him to be the first scientist to enter the area of Spirit Lake. He is currently conducting field work on the geology of the Pacific Northwest and revising a book on the science of religion.

Harold Coffin is currently on staff with the Earth History Research Center, at Southwestern Adventist University, where he serves in the fields of paleobotany and sedimentology.[1] He also served for a time as the editor of Geoscience Reports, a journal by the Geoscience Research Institute.
