Philanthropy
Professor John Church
In 2019, Prof John Church became the first Australian to win the prestigious BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Climate Change for his work projecting and interpreting the threat of global warming on accelerating increases in sea levels. Prof Church has generously donated his share of the €400,000 award money to the Climate Change Research Centre. Thanks to Prof Church’s remarkable donation, the CCRC has established annual Summer Scholarships and Honours projects. Funds will also be used to invite experts to present workshops at our Centre from this endowed fund.
