Rudmose-Brown was born on 13 September 1879, the younger son of an Arctic enthusiast, [3] and educated at Dulwich College . He studied Natural Sciences at the University of Aberdeen . In his first academic post, between 1900 and 1902, he assisted Professor Patrick Geddes with the teaching of botany at University College, Dundee , at that time part of the University of St Andrews .[4]
Antarctic exploration [ edit ]
At Dundee he met William Speirs Bruce who invited him to join the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition where he catalogued the wildlife of the South Orkney Islands .[5] The Rudmose Rocks , charted by the expedition in 1903, were named for Rudmose-Brown by Bruce.[6] On returning home he became Bruce’s assistant at the Scottish Oceanographical Laboratory ,[7] a consultant to the Scottish Spitsbergen Syndicate and vice-president of the International Polar Congress. In 1907 he was appointed a lecturer in geography at Sheffield University and spent several seasons as a field botanist in Svalbard .
War Service [ edit ]
As a result of this when war came he worked at the Intelligence Department of the Naval Staff in London with responsibility for Arctic information, a role he reprised between 1939 and 1945 .[8]
Academic rise [ edit ]
In 1920 he became reader in geography at the Manchester University and in 1931 he returned to Sheffield as professor of geography.[9]
Reputation consolidated [ edit ]
He was president of the Institute of British Geographers between 1937 and 1938 and at different times served as the president of the Arctic and Antarctic clubs.[10] He died in Sheffield on 27 January 1957,[11] bequeathing his polar library to the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge .[12]
