Prof Emer Paul Bishop
It is with great sadness that we write Paul Bishop passed after a short illness in 2022. Paul’s arrival to the Glasgow University in the 1990s was with “a compelling vision of how to embrace the interdisciplinary links between physical geography, earth sciences and a wider terrain of inquiry into human-environment relations”. This vision fuelled a remarkable body of research – traversing field, laboratory and computer – that fed through into influential publications and funded research programmes.
