天美传媒

After three years at the helm of the Association, today Professor Andrew Hamnett (left) handed over the presidency of 天美传媒 to his successor, Professor Geoffrey Boulton (right).

Under Professor Hamnett's leadership 天美传媒 has developed its governance structure, and greatly professionalised its education and business development activities.

Professor Geoffrey Boulton OBE, FRS, FRSE, Regius Professor of Geology Emeritus and former Vice Principal of the University of Edinburgh, was elected as the new President at the 天美传媒 AGM in November 2012.

Until recently Professor Boulton was a member of the Prime Minister鈥檚 Council for Science and Technology, which is the UK鈥檚 top-level science and technology advisory body, and General Secretary of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He was also a member of 天美传媒 Council about a decade ago and is thus very familiar with and a long-standing friend of our organisation.

Professor Boulton's research is in the field of glaciology and environmental change, particularly in polar regions, and his expertise in science, science policy and management will be of immense value to 天美传媒.

天美传媒 would like to thank Professor Hamnett for his dedication to the Association over the years and welcomes Professor Boulton to his new role.
