In all he made 14 trips to Antarctica including three marine science voyages. He discovered whale and dolphin fossils in the Vestfold Hills, the only site in Antarctica where fossil vertebrates have been found, and was one of the group that identified Macquarie Island as unique piece of uplifted oceanic crust. For nearly 20 years Quilty was a leader of the research programs of Australia's Antarctic Division, including as Chief Scientist for 1993 to 1999. Quilty served as Vice-President of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research from 1994 to 1998, having been Australia's representative on the Committee for some years. He was active in scientific organisations including being President of the Royal Society of Tasmania in 2010. His publications included Geological evolution of Tasmania (2014) and a number of papers stemming from his interest in the history of Antarctica. Five fossil species have been named after Quilty, as have the Quilty Nunataks in the southern Antarctic Peninsula and Quilty Bay in the Larsemann Hills near Davis Station. 1962 1962 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc(Hons)), University of Western Australia 1965 1966 Career event - First visit to Antarctic (Ellsworth Land) as palaeontologist with the University of Wisconsin 1969 1969 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Tasmania 1974 1974 Award - U.S. Antarctic Services Medal 1981 1983 Career position - Deputy Director (Research), Antarctic Division 1983 1993 Career position - Assistant Director (Science), Antarctic Division 1984 1984 Career position - Chair, Symposium the Biology of the Vestfold Hills, Hobart 1987 1987 Career position - Chair, Symposium on Macquarie Island, Hobart 1988 1988 Career position - Chair, 20th Meeting, Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), Hobart 1993 1999 Career position - Chief Scientist, Antarctic Division 1994 1998 Career position - Vice-President, Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) 1996 1996 Award - Royal Society of Tasmania Medal 1997 1997 Award - Member of the Order of Australia (AM) - for service to geoscience, particularly Australian Antarctic scientific research, and its promotion internationally 1999 1999 Life event - Retired 2004 2004 Career position - Convenor, 17th Australian Geological Convention, Hobart 2010 2010 Career position - President, Royal Society of Tasmania 2010 2010 Career position - Honorary Professor, School of Earth Sciences and Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania 2011 2011 Career position - Chair, Mawson Symposium, Royal Society of Tasmania 2016 2016 Award - Phillip Law Medal, Australian Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) Club Royal Society of Tasmania Medal (1927 - )
