Abstract
David Headley Green AM, FAA, FRS was an outstanding Australian geologist and world leader in experimental petrology and geochemistry. His research, initially at the Australian National University with A. E. Ringwood, and later at the University of Tasmania, shaped our understanding of the composition of the Earth’s mantle and the origin of the wide spectrum of volcanic rocks erupted in different global tectonic settings. David also had a significant impact on Antarctic science through studies of high-grade metamorphic rocks, but more broadly in fostering marine and climate science by championing the establishment at the University of Tasmania of a multidisciplinary research centre (now the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies). His achievements and scientific leadership were recognised with many international and national awards, including membership of the Order of Australia. A considerate and compassionate man, David is also remembered for his interest in and care for others.
David Headley Green是一位杰出的澳大利亚地质学家,也是实验岩石学和地球化学领域的世界领导者。他的研究最初是在澳大利亚国立大学与A. E. Ringwood一起进行的,后来在塔斯马尼亚大学进行的,这些研究塑造了我们对地幔组成的理解,以及在不同的全球构造环境中爆发的广谱火山岩的起源。大卫还通过对高变质岩的研究对南极科学产生了重大影响,但更广泛地说,他倡导在塔斯马尼亚大学建立一个多学科研究中心(现在的海洋和南极研究所),从而促进了海洋和气候科学的发展。他的成就和科学领导能力获得了许多国际和国家奖项,包括澳大利亚勋章。大卫是一个体贴而富有同情心的人,人们也记得他对他人的关心和关心。
期刊介绍:
Historical Records of Australian Science is a bi-annual journal that publishes two kinds of unsolicited manuscripts relating to the history of science, pure and applied, in Australia, New Zealand and the southwest Pacific.
Historical Articles–original scholarly pieces of peer-reviewed research
Historical Documents–either hitherto unpublished or obscurely published primary sources, along with a peer-reviewed scholarly introduction.
The first issue of the journal (under the title Records of the Australian Academy of Science), appeared in 1966, and the current name was adopted in 1980.
