J. Rose, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey, England, UK
Jim Rose holds the established Gordon Manley Chair 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.
