John-Michael Kendall (born 1962)[1] FRS[7] is a Geophysicist and Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford.[2][8]

Education[]

Kendall was educated at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in 1984[6] and a PhD in 1991 supervised by Colin J. Thomson.[1][6][9]

Career and research[]

Kendall's research interests are in geology, geophysics and seismology.[3][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[4] and the University of Bristol.[5][6]

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).
