Ian S. E. Carmichael (29 March 1930 – 26 August 2011) was a British-born American igneous petrologist and volcanologist who established extensive quantitative methods for research in the thermodynamics of magmas.[1][2]
As a child Carmichael was educated at Westminster School in London. He obtained a B.A. and M.A. in geology from Cambridge University in 1954, and his Ph.D. in 1958 from Imperial College London, where he wrote his thesis on Iceland's Thingmuli volcano. In 1964 Carmichael moved to the United States and became a member of the faculty at University of California, Berkeley, where he remained throughout his life.[1]
Carmichael is the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions including a Gedenkschrift, An issue honoring Ian S. E. Carmichael, in the September, 2013, issue of Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1992, the Arthur L. Day Medal from the Geological Society of America, the Bowen Award from the American Geophysical Union, and the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland's 1992 Schlumberger Award. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Geological Society of America, the Mineralogical Society of America, and the American Geophysical Union.[3]
