Personal
-
- "A mature attitude to his studies with
a determination to succeed."
E. C.
-
- "He proved to be an exceedingly good
and hard working research worker. His field work in a remote
and mountainous part of the Himalayas was very good and I had
the opportunity of checking its high value...(the) work required
physical ability and mental concentration of a high order."
J. G. R.
-
- "A conscientious student with a genuine
interest in his subject."
Z. A.
-
- "Combines considerable determination
with a nicely judged sense of humour when things do not go right
first time."
J. B.
-
- "A young man with initiative, ask him
to join our society!"
G. S.
-
- "His enthusiasm and efficiency made
him very successful."
J. W. M.
-
- "David is very resourceful, not afraid
to use his initiative and will often find himself in a leadership
role. He has the stamina that comes from a single-minded determination
to succeed at anything he considers worthwhile - the more onerous
the task, the greater his determination to complete it. However,
he must be convinced that the task, whatever it is, is of value
and worth investing energy."
S. J. S.-W.
-
- "David is an enthusiastic, industrious
and hard working student who has learnt a great deal from the
opportunities that he has earned.....His work is very satisfactory,
and he has made a number of important contributions to the scientific
understanding of the Himalayas."
J. G. R.
-
- "David Spencer is a dedicated, hard-working
and full of initiative collaborator. As such, he has been the
principal organiser of an extremely successful international
symposium, gaining him esteem from many highly regarded scholars.
Thanks to such actions, the ETH is maintaining high its worldwide
reputation of center of excellence in Himalayan research, and
David Spencer should share the acknowledgement for this prestige."
J.-P. B.
-
- "His presentations are regarded by all
as extremely clear and beautifully illustrated and his replies
to scientific questions show that he has a very firm understanding
of his topic.....his work has lead to much rethinking of the
tectonic history of the NW Himalayas. I regard it as one of the
major works ever made in Himalayan geology."
J. G. R.
-
- "Dr. Spencer is rightly regarded here
in Pakistan as the best young Himalayan Geologist, who has done
pioneering work and made original contributions of great significance
to the tectono-metamorphic, petrotectonic and structural analysis
of the Himalayan Crystallines."
N. C.
-
- "Dr. Spencer is a very promising young
scientist. He is extremely hard working and productive, which
is documented in numerous publications written during and after
his PhD studies. His discovery of eclogites in the western part
of the Himalaya has been a corner stone for the reconstruction
of the collisional history of the Asian and Indian continents."
R. H. S.
-
- "He is a thoroughly organised person,
very methodical and orderly. I rate his scientific work very
highly."
J. G. R.
-
- "In view of the impressing achievements
both in the field in very remote areas under difficult conditions,
in the lecture hall and in organising scientific meetings as
well as his scientific productivity, Dr. Spencer is highly suited
for pursuing a career in earth sciences."
R. H. S.
-
- "There is no doubt that he has been
extremely successful in his own research and most productive
the way in which he has produced publications and contributed
internationally to the fundamental research scene currently focused
on Himalayan tectonics."
J. G. R.
-
- "I would like to recognise your contribution
to my achievements and mentorship which you have given me"
R. B.
-
- "He was a conscientious student and
carried out his studies with verve and aplomb.He is a dedicated
and competent geologist and I have no hesitation in recommending
him to you."
B. C.
-
- "Dr. Spencer's highly organized mode
of tackling major tasks has not only resulted in a high productivity,
but is also a major benefit for anybody who has to interact with
him. There has been an unanimous agreement among all participants
of the 10th Himalaya - Karakoram - Tibet Workshop [which was
organised by him], that the Workshop ranked among the best conferences
they ever had attended to."
R. H. S.
-
- "His publication record for someone
of his age is quite exceptional in quantity and quality."
J. G. R.
-
- "David is self-confident, adapts new
information easily and responds always to the defined project
time schedules. He has a strong academic background and his projects
and contributions are always excellently documented. Coming new
into another culture; academia to oil industry, and British to
Norwegian mentality, I will evaluate David to be very adaptive
to new environments, specially taken into consideration the difficult
situation he and the company has been exposed to the last year."
