Books By M. G. Laird, J. D. Bradshaw - Author

John Bradshaw studied geology at London University and completed a PhD on the Precambrian and Paleozoic rocks of western Finistere in 1963. He joined the Geology Department of the University of Canterbury in 1966 where he remained until 2009. He initially worked on the Mesozoic accretionary complex of the Southern Alps. At the same time he became interested, along with Malcolm Laird, in the Paleozoic rocks of Antarctica. Later, these two strands merged into a broader study of the tectonics of the Pacific margin of the Gondwana continent from New Zealand through Antarctica and into South America.

John was a long-serving member of the Ross Dependency Research Committee and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand.
