英国南极调查局局长--

痴迷南极的英国古植物学家Jane E. Francis教授

   英国古植物学家Jane E. Francis教授曾跟随William Gilbert Chaloner教授 (FRS,1928--)从事博士后研究。Francis教授现任英国南极调查局局长。之前,她主要供职于ThebUniversity of Leeds

(1)  Education and Academic Career

Francis received her degree in Geology at the University of Southampton in 1979. Sheremained at Southampton until 1982 as a NERC research studentin Biology/Geology. From here she continued on as a NERC post doctorateresearch fellow for two years, until 1984, at BedfordCollege, University of London.

Her career began with a position as Palaeobotanist to theBritish Antarctic Survey, from 1984-1986.This was followed by five years as a Post Doctorate Research Associate at theUniversity of Adelaide. In 1991 she was accepted a position as a lecturer inthe Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Leeds. She was promotedto Senior Lecturer in 1996 and to Professor of Palaeoclimatology in 2004.[2] On October 1, 2013 Professor Francis took up her presentpost as Director of BAS after the previous director, Alan Rodgers, steppeddown.[3]

(2)  Research speciality

Professor Jane Francis’principal research interests are palaeoclimatology and palaeobotany. Shespecialise in the study of fossil plants, especially woods, and their use astools for climate interpretation and information about past biodiversity. Hercurrent work focuses on understanding past climate change during bothgreenhouse and icehouse periods, particularly in the polar regions, the areason Earth most sensitive to climate change.

(3) Awards
