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

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).
