Tim Naish
Timothy Raymond Naish is a New Zealand glaciologist. He is the director of the Antarctic Research Centre at Victoria University of Wellington. He has written about the collapse of Antarctica's Larsen B ice shelf. In 2002, between January 31 and March 7 the Larsen B ice shelf collapsed and broke up. Naish warned that the ice shelf of Weddell Sea is imperiled, and if the temperature rises by 3°C, the ice shelves of Antarctica will become thinner.
In the 2010 New Year Honours, Naish was awarded the New Zealand Antarctic Medal for services to Antarctic climate science.
