Dr. David Dunlop

Professor Dunlop has established an international reputation for his work in rock and paleomagnetism. Recognition has come through many invitations to present accounts of his studies at scientific meetings. He has been asked to review state-of-the-art developments in rock and paleomagnetism at two successive meetings of the American Geophysical Union. His list of publications shows him to be an energetic and steadily productive scholar, and his pre-eminence in his chosen field has won for him the award of a Killam Fellowship. In addition he is an excellent teacher, at the undergraduate as well as the graduate level. In a broader context, the high regard in which his geophysical colleagues hold him has been demonstrated by his election as President of the Canadian Geophysical Union and to Fellowship in the American Geophysical Union. He was recently awarded the Louis Néel Medal of the European Geophysical Society and the Tuzo Wilson Medal of the Canadian Geophysical Union.
