Terence Vincent Callaghan
CMG (born 1945)
[1] is a British biologist specialized in the
ecology of the
Arctic . Much of his work on arctic plants has taken place in
Abisko in northernmost Sweden, based at the
Abisko Scientific Research Station where he served as director.
[2]
[3] He was a lead author of the
IPCC Fourth Assessment Reports chapter on
polar regions .

Education and early life
Callaghan was born in
Stockport
[1] and grew up in
Levenshulme in
Manchester
[6] and was educated at
Burnage Grammar School . He was awarded a
Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Manchester in 1967 and a
PhD from the
University of Birmingham in 1972
[1] for
ecophysiological and
taxonic studies on
Phleum alpinum .
[7]
Career and research
Callaghan's research has focussed on the
arctic and
subarctic environment and the ecology of plants,
[8] animals, and
ecosystem processes,
[9]
[10] including ecological responses to
climate change ,
[11]
[12]
atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and
UV-B radiation .
[4] He has held academic positions at the
Institute of Terrestrial Ecology , the
University of Sheffield , the
University of Manchester , the
University of York and
Tomsk State University .

Awards and honours
Callaghan was awarded the
Zayed International Prize for the Environment in 2007, the Vega Medal by the

International Arctic Science Committee medal in 2017. He was appointed Companion of the
Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in the
