It is with great sadness that we announce that Emeritus Professor John Chappell, passed away on 3 October 2018. John was a central figure in the world of Geomorphology and Quaternary Science, a great friend and mentor to many, and a great friend of the ANZGG. A short obituary of John's career and achievements has been put together by Martin Williams and can be read here. The ANZGG have sent John's wife and family a Totara tree (Podocarpus totaro) to plant in their garden in Dunedin in his memory.
