Christian S. M. Turney FRSA FGS FRMetSoc FRGS FHEA is Professor of Climate Change and Earth Science at the University of New South Wales.[1]
He was educated at St Bede's School, graduated from the University of East Anglia with a BSc in Environmental Science and completed his PhD at Royal Holloway, University of London. He was previously Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Exeter. He was awarded the J.G. Russell Award (2004) by the Australian Academy of Science, the inaugural Sir Nicholas Shackleton Medal by the International Union for Quaternary Research in 2007, a Philip Leverhulme Prize in 2008, the Bigsby Medal of the Geological Society of London in 2009, and the Frederick White Prize by the Australian Academy of Science in 2014.[2] He has published four books[3][4][5][6] and more than 180 scientific research papers.[7]
In 2013−14, Turney led the privately-funded expedition to the Antarctic called the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, in the "Spirit of Mawson", to investigate environmental changes across the region and communicate the value of scientific research. On their return home, their ice-strengthened vessel became trapped by a substantial breakout of sea ice. His book on the expedition's discoveries and the team's experiences trapped by sea ice were published in "Iced In: Ten Days Trapped on the Edge of Antarctica".[8]; in Australia and New Zealand, the same book was published under the name of "Shackled".[9]
