Biography
I came to the FBA as an M.Sc. student in September 1965, supervised by Dr J W G Lund FRS and studied the diatoms of Blea Tarn sediments. After a year at the Univ. of Minnesota, I returned to join the Palaeolimnology group headed by Winifred Tutin FRS in 1968. My interests have been diatom taxonomy, ecology and environmental history; eutrophication, acidification and climate change. I took early retirement from NERC and have an Honorary FBA Fellowship. Most of my time is as Curator of the Fritsch Collection of Algal Illustrations (www.fritschalgae.info ); entering new records, answering queries and slowly checking and digitising the records. I am a Life Member of FBA.
