Dr Alun Hubbard

Alun joined IGES in April, 2007 as a lecturer after an eclectic career spanning much of the planet. After graduating from Oxford in 1990 he took time off to travel SE Asia and when money ran out enrolled in a PhD at Edinburgh University to study the response of Patagonian and Alpine glaciers to climate change. In 1997 he started one of many fellowships, first based at UBC, Vancouver, then to New Zealand in 1999 working for Canterbury University, in Antarctica and finally returning to Edinburgh in 2003. After a brief stint as a cruise-ship lecturer and entertainer, he has hung up his boots and settled down back in his home-town. He is Secretary of the British Branch of the International Glaciological Society.
