John-Michael Kendall Explained
John-Michael Kendall (born 1962) [4] is a Geophysicist and Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford.[5]
Education
Kendall was educated at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in 1984[3] and a PhD in 1991 supervised by Colin J. Thomson.[6] [3] [7]
Career and research
Kendall's research interests are in geology, geophysics and seismology. Kendall has led field experiments in a range of geologic settings varying from the Arctic Archipelago, to Oman[8] and Ethiopia.[9] [10]
Previously Kendall has worked for the Chevron Corporation in Canada, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in the United States, the University of Toronto, the University of Leeds[1] and the University of Bristol.[2] [3]
Awards and honours
Kendall served as president of the British Geophysical Association (BGA) and vice-president (Geophysics) of the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS). In 2019, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) and in 2011 he was elected Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
