Why Is Richard Aldridge Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Richard John Aldridge was a British palaeontologist and academic, who was Bennett Professor of Geology at the University of Leicester. Academic career Aldridge's career began at Southampton University before moving to a temporary lectureship at University College London. He then joined the University of Nottingham where he remained until 1989, having reached the rank of Reader in Palaeontology. Following the Oxburgh Review of Earth Sciences, he moved to the University of Leicester. He served two terms as Head of Department, and was F.W. Bennett Professor of Geology from 2002 until he retired in 2011.
