His pioneering studies of Antarctic sea ice documented for the first time the seasonal variation in growth, redistribution, and decay of sea ice through its interactions with the atmosphere and underlying water column. In a 42-year career with the Australian Antarctic Survey, Allison led or participated in 25 expeditions to Antarctica and played a major role in international polar research. He was a lead author of Assessment Reports produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Allison Glacier on Heard Island is named in his honour. 2010 Career position - Senior Principal Research Scientist and Leader, Ocean, Atmosphere and Climate Program, Australian Antarctic Survey 1970 1970 Education - Master of Science (MSc), University of Melbourne 1987 1987 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Melbourne 1988 1988 Award - Antarctic Medal 2007 2008 Career position - Co-Chair, International Council for Science/World Meteorological Organisation Joint Committee for the International Polar Year 2009 2009 Award - DSc (honoris causa), University of Tasmania 2010 Career position - Adjunct Professor University of Tasmania & Research Associate, Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre 2014 2014 Award - Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for distinguished service to the environment as a glaciologist, to furthering international understanding of the science of the Antarctic region, and to climate research 2016 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Science (FAA) 2016 Award - Fellow, Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (AMOS) (1987 - )
