NOTE;LANGUAGE=en;CHARSET=utf-8:After completing a Ph.D. in marine geophysics at the University of Cambridge\, U.K. in 1967 I joined the then National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) in Wormley\, Surrey where I was employed by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) as a research scientist. NIO later became the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences and then the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences Deacon Laboratory (IOSDL). In 1995 IOSDL transferred to Southampton to become a major component\, with the Departments of Geology and Oceanography of the University of Southampton\, of the brand new Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC). I retired from NERC employment in 2001 and took on the post of Permanent Secretary of GEBCO in January the same year\, remaining in this position until December 2010. I remain a Visiting Professor within SOC's School of Ocean and Earth Science. My scientific research career covered most aspects of marine geophysics but with special emphasis on wide-angle seismic experiments using ocean bottom seismographs. I worked on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and\, latterly\, on rifted continental margins where\, together with the use of scientific drilling within the Ocean Drilling Program\, I specialised in the geological processes that accompany continental break-up and the onset of seafloor spreading.
