After receiving his PhD from the University of Illinois (1965), he migrated to Australia and became a citizen there. He became an outstanding rheologist at Monash University. He is especially noted for his development of the vane method for determining yield stress in particulate materials, and for the development of Boger fluids that enabled clarification of some puzzles in the study of viscoelastic liquids. He eventually became Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne. There, he made many contributions to the problem of waste disposal in the mining industry, especially the solution of the red mud problem arising from the aluminium industry. After retirement from Melbourne, he returned to Monash University and also spent time at the University of Florida. He received many honours for his work, and he is survived by three children and six grandchildren.","PeriodicalId":51246,"journal":{"name":"Historical Records of Australian Science","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149151719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quotations are reproduced in their historical context for the purpose of critical analysis and documentation. The authors wish to warn readers that text in this article may cause distress. The kowari, Dasyuroides byrnei (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae), is a marsupial micro-predator that occupies the gibber plains of central Australia. Despite its charisma and presumed ecological importance, the kowari remains obscure to both the public and much of the scientific community. Here, we examine its historic occurrence within the context of the expanding frontiers of colonial Australia. We construct a timeline of records and subsequent localised extinctions alongside likely drivers of the kowari’s decline, namely introductions of invasive species and development of pastoral holdings. Specific effort was taken to investigate the integrity of records with uncertain origins that have previously been ignored or dismissed, and to highlight the hidden role the kowari played in stimulating scientific inquiry into the biota of central Australia in the latter half of the twentieth century. These endeavours are presented to broaden scientific understanding of the kowari and promote interest in its history and prospects so that it may represent an icon towards achieving sustainable use of Australia’s stony desert rangelands.","PeriodicalId":51246,"journal":{"name":"Historical Records of Australian Science","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149151720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sev undertook his PhD with Professor D. H. R. Barton (later Sir Derek Barton) at Imperial College, London, and it was there that he was introduced to NMR spectroscopy: NMR would become Sev’s major research area for the rest of his career. He was appointed as senior lecturer in organic chemistry at the University of Sydney in 1964 and, in 1977, he was appointed to the Chair of Organic Chemistry and Head of Department. Sev served as Head of the School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney on two occasions. He is probably best known for his pioneering research into the use of NMR as a tool to unravel the structures of organic compounds.

Many groups contributed data that underpinned the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 5th Assessment Report published in 2014 that led to the ground-breaking Paris Agreement. Australia’s contribution included the results of a CSIRO climate model which had its genesis in a relatively simple weather forecast model two decades previously.
