Peter Holloway 1953-2002
Peter Holloway died in late 2002 at age 49. He was at that stage Head of the School of Geography and Oceanography at the Australian Defence Force Academy. He was a physical oceanographer who had devoted much of his career to studying internal waves, with a focus on Australia's North West Shelf. He did his PhD at Flinders, and postdocs at the Universities of Dalhousie and Western Australia, before moving to ADFA. He held positions of secretary and president of AMSA's Physical Oceanography Division, and contributed broadly to marine science through his own research and membership of national policy and review committees.
For those who knew and worked with him, Peter was a fine colleague and friend, and he is sorely missed. We held a symposium in his honour as part of the 2004 AMSA conference in Hobart and provided an opportunity for colleagues to dedicate papers to his memory. A subset of these papers was published in a memorial section of Marine and Freshwater Research, 2006, vol 57, pp 241-302.
