He was Professor of Neotectonics at University College London from 1987 to 2001, and has been a scientific associate at the Natural History Museum, London since 2001.[1][2] His research is interdisciplinary, and involves the application of tectonics and planetary science on landscape change: this has led to him working alongside archaeologists and climatologists among others.[2][3] He studied at St John's College, Cambridge.[4]

Honours

Vita-Finzi is the recipient of two medals from the Royal Geographical Society: the Back Award in 1971, and the Busk Medal in 2012 "for fieldwork on Mediterranean landscape change".[5][3] In 1994, he was awarded the G.
