In 1992 he became Professor, Cooperative Research Centre for the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Environment, University of Tasmania. He played a dominant role in international research on polar ice for over 30 years. Based on extensive practical experience in Antarctica, he produced theories and experimental confirmation of the large-scale behaviour of ice, using these to study the interaction of ice sheets and climate. His models provide explanations for the initiation and passing of ice ages and simulate the response of Antarctica to future global warming. These models have been extensively used in international assessments of possible climate change. Budd was a Vice-President of SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research) and Convenor of its Group of Specialists on Sea Ice. 1958 1958 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), University of Sydney 1959 1959 Education - Diploma in Education (DipEd), University of Sydney 1960 1979 Career position - Associate and Senior Associate with the Department of Meteorology (employed by Antarctic Division as Senior Glaciologist) 1965 1965 Education - Master of Science (MSc), University of Melbourne 1968 1968 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Melbourne 1969 1969 Career position - Polar Medal 1971 1971 Award - Edgeworth David Medal, Royal Society of New South Wales 1976 1988 Career position - Member, National Committee for Antarctic Research, Australian Academy of Science 1977 1977 Award - Royal Society of Victoria Medal for Excellence in Scientific Research (jointly) 1979 1987 Career position - Deputy Chairman of the School of Earth Sciences, University of Melbourne 1979 1992 Career position - Foundation Professor and Chairman of the Department of Meteorology, University of Melbourne 1983 1984 Career position - President, Royal Meteorological Society, Australian branch 1983 1988 Career position - Chairman, National Committee for Antarctic Research, Australian Academy of Science 1984 1985 Career position - Member (ex officio), Antarctic Research Policy Advisory Committee, Commonwealth of Australia 1985 1986 Career position - Vice-President for Australia, Royal Meteorological Society 1987 1990 Career position - Chairman, School of Earth Sciences, University of Melbourne 1988 1992 Career position - Vice-President, Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), International Science Council 1992 1997 Career position - Professor with the CRC for the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Environment, University of Tasmania 1993 1999 Career position - Member, National Committee for Antarctic Research, Australian Academy of Science 1993 2022 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Science (FAA) 1995 1997 Career position - Member, Sectional Committee 4 (Solid and Fluid Earth and Planetary Science), Australian Academy of Science 1996 1996 Award - Seligman Crystal Award, Glaciological Society 1997 1999 Career position - Chair, Sectional Committee 4 (Solid and Fluid Earth and Planetary Science), Australian Academy of Science 1997 2003 Career position - Professor with the CRC for Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, University of Tasmania 2001 2001 Award - R.
