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]
Education
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
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
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).
