Trevor Mcdougall
Trevor McDougall studied mechanical engineering at the University of Adelaide, Australia, and then did his PhD in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, under the guidance of Professors Stewart Turner and Paul Linden, doing mostly laboratory-based studies on turbulent mixing processes in the ocean. His five post-doctoral years were at the Australian National University in Canberra, where he mainly worked on double-diffusive convection in an oceanographic context. For twenty eight years beginning in 1983 Trevor worked at the CSIRO Division of Oceanography in Hobart, Australia, concentrating on understanding turbulent mixing processes in the ocean and the ways in which these processes are incorporated into computer models of the ocean and of climate. He has discovered four new ocean mixing processes and his work has led to improvements in the ways that oceanographic observations and model output data are analysed and interpreted. During this period he also developed an interest in seawater thermodynamics and introduced the new temperature variable, Conservative Temperature, as a better measure of the heat content per unit mass of seawater. This led to Trevor chairing SCOR/IAPSO Working Group 127 which in turn led to the introduction of the TEOS-10 thermodynamic definitions of seawater, ice and humid air, adopted internationally by IOC in 2010. Since 2012 Trevor has been Scientia Professor of Ocean Physics in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New South Wales in Sydney Australia. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy Sciences, a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, and in 2018 was made a Companion of the Order of Australia. -

The verse obviously possesses an ethical-spiritual import and may be translated as follows: “That is (right) action which does not conduce to bondage (Karmabandha in the Bhagavadgita sense); that is (true) knowledge which conduces to final liberation or spiritual emancipation; (any) other knowledge implies mere skill in craft beforePages.indd 2 2/20/2013 6:59:12 PM Visitor The President of India Chief Rector The Governor of Andhra Pradesh Chancellor R Chidambaram (upto 11.01.2012) C H Hanumantha Rao (12.01.2012) Vice-Chancellor Ramakrishna Ramaswamy Pro Vice-Chancellor E.

It is a story of great achievement which needed to be told, and current and past members of the department have kindly supplied the anecdotal material which gives it a human face. Much of this achievement has taken place since my retirement in 2005, and I apologise for the cursory treatment of this important period. It would be marvellous if someone with first-hand knowledge was moved to describe it properly. I should like to thank Steffen Lauritzen for entrusting me with this task, and all those whose contributions in various ways have made it possible. These have included Doug Altman, Nancy Amery, Shahzia Anjum, Peter Armitage, Simon Bailey, John Bithell, Jan Boylan, Charlotte Deane, Peter Donnelly, Gerald Draper, David Edwards, David Finney, Paul Griffiths, David Hendry, John Kingman, Alison Macfarlane, Jennie McKenzie, Gilean McVean, Madeline Mitchell, Rafael Perera, Anne Pope, Brian Ripley, Ruth Ripley, Christine Stone, Dominic Welsh, Matthias Winkel and Stephanie Wright. -

It is clear University with record numbers that excellence in teaching and research will of students joining us and a record remain at the heart of the University’s forward Wfinancial surplus. We also welcomed our new direction, but we expect new initiatives to be Vice-Chancellor, Professor Koen Lamberts, in part of the plan.
