An early interest in glacial geomorphology expanded on coming to Australia into periglacial studies, coastal geomorphology and the geomorphology of deserts. Jennings's interest in caving as a recreational activity became a preoccupation with the science of caves and karst. He was particularly influential in Australian cave science and exploration, notably in relation to the Eastern Highlands, the Nullarbor and the Kimberley region, and the sandstone karsts of northern Australia. Jennings edited the 7-volume An introduction to systematic geomorphology: his own contribution Karst (1971) is regarded as a standard authority. He published widely in the fields of zoology, climatology, and European exploration and land use in Australia. 1938 1938 Education - Bachelor of Arts (BA), University of Cambridge, United Kingdom 1941 1945 Military service - Served with Royal Artillery 1945 1945 Education - Master of Arts (MA), University of Cambridge, United Kingdom 1946 1952 Career position - Lecturer in physical geography, University of Leicester, United Kingdom 1953 1966 Career position - Reader in Geomorphology, Department of Geography, Research School of Pacific Studies, Australian National University 1958 1960 Career position - President, Australian Speleological Association 1963 1963 Life event - Naturalised as an Australian citizen 1966 1977 Career position - Professorial Fellow in Geomorphology, Australian National University 1972 1972 Award - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Cambridge 1975 1975 Award - Clarke Medal, Royal Society of New South Wales 1975 1975 Career position - President, Institute of Australian Geographers 1975 1975 Award - Victoria Medal, Royal Geographical Society, United Kingdom 1977 1977 Life event - Retired 1977 1984 Career position - Honorary Visiting Fellow, Department of Biogeography and Geomorphology, Australian National University 1978 1984 Award - Honorary Life Member, Institute of Australian Geographers 1983 1983 Award - Honorary Life Member, National Speleological Society, U.S.A.
