John Andrews Receives AMQUA's 1998 Distinguished Career Award

John Andrews' scientific contributions include studies of: (1) the behavior of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, (2) relative sea-level history, and (3) ice sheet-ocean interactions. No one has exceeded John's contribution to the first two areas.  John has produced several syntheses of continental ice-sheet activity and has investigated mechanisms of ice-sheet inception and modeling of ice-sheet dynamics. His recent studies of Heinrich events provide the strongest evidence for their timing, source, and occurrence in the North Atlantic.

John has received several awards including: the Kirk Bryan award of the GSA and the Distinguished Service Award of the University of Colorado. He received a DSc from the University of Nottingham in 1978, largely based on his pioneering work in climate change. Recently he was appointed by the King of Norway to the Norwegian Academy of Science. He served as AMQUA president from 1986-1988. He is truly a remarkable earth scientist and deserving of the AMQUA Career Award.

Nomination by Larry Benson with Art Dyke, John England, and Peter Clark
