Jim Rose is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London. He
holds the Murchison Award and the Victoria Medal of the Royal Geographical Society and the Coke Medal of the Geological Society of London.
He was Editor-in-Chief of Quaternary Science Reviews from 1994 until 2008 and is on the editorial boards of a number of other international
journals including Boreas, Quaternary Research and Quaternary International. He has been President of the Quaternary Research Association,
British Representative to the INQUA Congress, Chairman and member or chair of a number of UK Natural Environment Research Council Committees,
a member of Council of the Royal Geographical Society and Deputy Chair of Review panels for Research Assessment in the UK and the Netherlands.
Currently he is a Scientific Advisor to Natural England. Research interests cover a wide range of Quaternary science and process
geomorphology and sedimentology: (glacial sediments and bedforms, palaeohydrology, palaeopedology, displaced shorelines, glacial stratigraphy
of the British Isles, Early and Middle Pleistocene stratigraphy of Eastern and Midland England, and Northern Europe region, climate and
environmental change through the Last interglacial/ Last glacial in Europe, environmental change and Human occupance of Britain). Highlights
of this research include the introduction of the bedform concept to glacial geomorphology, recognition of the scale of river activity
in relation to short-term climate change in Europe and Borneo, introduction of palaeosols to the British Quaternary stratigraphy and
a major revision of the Early and Middle Pleistocene stratigraphy of Britain. Recent work has been involved with early Middle Pleistocene
landscapes, the discovery of the Bytham River and the recognition of the presence of Humans on the British land area over 750,000 years
ago.
D. Horne, Dept. of Geography, Queen Mary, University of London, 327 Mile End Road, London, E1 4NS, UK
David J. Horne, Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography, Queen Mary University of London. Dave Horne
graduated as a geologist from City of London Polytechnic and then took the Micropalaeontology MSc course at University College London.
He studied the ecology and life cycles of marine and brackish water ostracods for his PhD at Bristol University. He became a lecturer
in the Geology Department at City of London Polytechnic in 1984 and subsequently stayed with that department through its transformation
(via Thames Polytechic) into the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of Greenwich, where he became a Reader
in Environmental Earth Science in 1991. In 2003 he moved to the Department of Geography at Queen Mary University of London. He has published
more than 100 scientific papers, with a focus on ostracod palaeobiology (taxonomy, ecology, evolution and applications of living and
fossil marine and nonmarine ostracods) which has included work on Quaternary, Tertiary, Cretaceous and Carboniferous fossil assemblages;
more general interests encompass biogeography, palaeoclimatology, palaeoenvironmental analysis, palaeolimnology, environmental impact
assessment, natural hazards and Martian geology. He is currently a Scientific Associate in the Zoology Department of The Natural History
Museum, London, a Scientific Collaborator of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences and a Fellow of the Linnean Society. He
has taught at all levels from Primary School to Postgraduate level as well as presenting lectures for the general public. His research
has involved collaboration and field work in several European countries as well as the USA, Canada, Japan and South Africa.
J. Powell, Natural Environment Research Council, British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, UK
Chief Geologist, England, British Geological Survey John Powell graduated from the University of Newcastle
upon Tyne and was awarded a PhD for his research on Silurian patch reefs in the Welsh Borderlands. He joined the Survey?s Leeds Office
in 1978 where he worked mostly on the Carboniferous/Jurassic rocks and Quaternary deposits in North Yorkshire. He was posted to Jordan
in 1984, where he spent 4 years training counterparts in mapping, sedimentology and basin analysis on rocks ranging in age from Precambrian
to the Quaternary, especially Cretaceous carbonate platform sequences. Returning to Keyworth in 1989, he led the Black Country Applied
Geological Mapping Project, and continued as an advisor to the Jordanian Geological Survey, culminating in an environmental geology GIS
for the Aqaba region. During the 90?s he combined overseas environmental geology training/mapping assignments in Botswana, Syria and
Jordan with leadership of the Birmingham Mapping Project. He was Regional Geologist, Middle East and Africa from 1998 to 2000 and worked
on projects in Morocco, Mauritania and Mozambique. John was formerly the BGS field mapping training officer, and Head of Discipline
for Geology, Geotechnics and Palaeontology from 2000-2007; he was recently appointed Chief Geologist, England. He is a Chartered Geologist,
former President of the Yorkshire Geological Society, and represents BGS on the Geological Society Stratigraphy Commission, the IUGS
Commission for the Geological Map of the World and the Geological Society?s BSc and MSc Accreditation panel. He has published over 65
scientific papers, 2 BGS Memoirs, and over 30 geological maps/models. His main scientific interests are sedimentology and stratigraphy,
but his main pastime is scuba diving.
