Professor Michael J. (‘Mike’) Barnsley, our friend and colleague, died on 6 December 2007 in Swansea’s Singleton Hospital, following a recurrence of the melanoma he had suffered from in recent years.

Mike will always be remembered as an inspirational teacher, a charming and unassuming gentleman, a marvellous mentor and a wonderful man.

A full obituary was published in The Geographical Journal.
