Abstract
Abstract. The scientific career of Michael Rycroft (born in 1938) spans the space age, during which
significant changes have occurred in how scientists work, experiment, and
interact. Here, as part of his 80th birthday celebrations, we review
his career to date in terms of the social and structural changes in
collaborative international science. His contributions to research,
teaching, and management across solar–terrestrial and ionospheric physics as well as
atmospheric and space science are also discussed.
期刊介绍:
The scope of History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS) is to document historical facts and knowledge and to improve awareness of the history of geoscience. The knowledge of the development of geosciences and their experimental methods and theories in the past can improve our current understanding and may stimulate current research. It is encouraging for young scientists to read biographical material of historical figures in their research area. It is important as well to learn that history of science is an integrated part of the ongoing research in their research area. Another important aim of the journal is the association of historical retrospective and current research.
