John L. Smellie is a professor in the Department of Geology at the University of Leicester. He is the leading expert on Antarctic glaciovolcanism and has extensive experience working on Iceland's glaciovolcanoes. He is a prolific author, having produced over 190 publications, including 10 edited volumes. Professor Smellie is the co-founder and first Chair of the IAVCEI/IACS Commission on Volcano-Ice Interactions, and, in 2000, was co-convener of the first International Conference on Volcano-Ice Interactions on Earth and Mars. He has been awarded the Polar Medal, conferred by Her Majesty The Queen, is co-Chair of the SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research) Expert group on Antarctic Volcanism, and has three geographical features in Antarctica named after him.
