Biography
Current Role:
BAS Emeritus Fellow and UK Science Coordinator for the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC). As Emeritus Fellow, David will focus on a variety of scientific collaborations, outreach activities, and mentoring within BAS.
Education and Employment History:
2014 – 2021 (retired): Director of Science for the British Antarctic Survey. In 2017, he was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of his services to science.
2009-2014: Science Leader for the British Antarctic Survey core programme: IceSheets. This programme employed ~17 full-time researchers, and additional postgraduate students funded by NERC National Capability and grant funding. The programme had research strands in: Ice-sheet modelling, terrestrial and marine geology/geochemistry, satellite remote sensing, airborne and surface geophysical investigation, technology development.
2009 – 2013: Coordinator for ice2sea, a large-scale research programme funded by the European Union involving 24 institutions. The role of ice2sea was to reduce uncertainty in the projections of the contribution of melting ice to sea-level rise.
2008-2012: Co-ordinating Lead Author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group II (Observations of the Cryosphere
2006: Honorary Professor in the School of the Environment and Society, University of Wales, Swansea
2005-2010: Principal Investigator for British Antarctic Survey Core Programme: Glacial Retreat of Antarctica and Deglaciation of the Earth System (GRADES). GRADES employed between 12 and 20 staff and focus on aspects of past and future deglaciation as drivers of change in the Earth System.
1999-2005: Principal Investigator for BAS Core Programme Global Interactions of Antarctic Ice Sheet (GIANTS). This five-year project employed between 10 and 15 staff, and focused on the interactions between the Antarctic ice sheet and its bed, surrounding oceans, climate and volcanoes.
1986-1990: Remote sensing specialist, Ice and Climate Division, British Antarctic Survey.
1986-1990: Glaciologist, Ice and Climate Division, British Antarctic Survey.
1992-1995: Open University. Ph.D. Thesis title, Structural and climatic controls on Antarctic Ice Shelves. Supervisors, Dr. C.S.M. Doake; Professor D. Sugden, University of Edinburgh.
1984-1985: University of Durham. M.Sc. in Geophysics. (NERC Advanced Studentship)
1981-1984: University of Cambridge (Churchill College). BA (Hons) Natural Sciences (Physics)
Before-1981: Yateley Comprehensive School and Ivybridge School and Community College.
Research interests
Personal research interests include glaciology, climate and sea-level rise, the role of ice in the Earth system and the societal implications of climate change and rising sea levels.

In July, 2021 , Prof. David Vaughan retired as BAS Director of Science, he maintains his involvement with the organisation as a BAS Emeritus Fellow and continues to be active in science.
In 2017 Professor David Vaughan was awarded an OBE, for services to glaciology.
Professor Vaughan is director of science at the British Antarctic Survey and the foremost UK expert on understanding the response of ice sheets in the polar regions to climate change. He served as co-ordinating lead author in two rounds of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment reports and was responsible for identifying the policy-relevant issues and negotiating the acceptance of key findings by high-level policymakers.
In 2003, Professor Vaughan was awarded the Polar Medal by Her Majesty the Queen in recognition of his outstanding work on recent changes in the Antarctic ice sheet.
