Passing of Steve Porter
2015-03-12 08:46:29
With sadness I relay the news that Emeritus Professor Steve Porter passed away last week, in Carpinteria, California. All his family was at his bedside during his last day. Steve was a major inspirational figure in the department and in the Quaternary Research Center for decades, and also in the scientific world at large. Although he was not active scientifically for the past few years, his presence will still be greatly missed by his numerous colleagues and students, whom he regarded as his "second family." Alan Gillespie is organizing an 'In Memoriam' tribute planned for the June issue of Quaternary Research, the international journal he guided for so long. Glenn Thackray and AN Zhisheng will probably lead in writing, and we are looking for stories and photos depicting some facet of Steve's long career.
