David Cantrill
Executive Director Science
David Cantrill's research interests include the history of Antarctic vegetation and, in particular, the role that Antarctica has played in developing present day patterns of plant distribution in the Southern Hemisphere is a major focus of my research. He has worked extensively in the Antarctic and more recently in South Africa and New Zealand concentrating on fossil floras from the Cretaceous and early Cenozoic. He also has interests in a number of extant groups including Proteaceae and Rutaceae and in integrating the results of molecular and morphological studies with information from the geological record.
