John-Michael Kendall (born 1962)[6] FRS[7] is a Geophysicist and Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford.[1][8]
Education[edit]
Kendall was educated at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in 1984[5] and a PhD in 1991 supervised by Colin J. Thomson.[6][5][9]
Career and research[edit]
Kendall's research interests are in geology, geophysics and seismology.[2][10] Kendall has led field experiments in a range of geologic settings varying from the Arctic Archipelago, to Oman[11] and Ethiopia.[12][13]
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[3] and the University of Bristol.[4][5]
Awards and honours[edit]
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).
