Dr Tim Haskell
Dr Tim Haskell is a distinguished scientist with Industrial Research Limited - and until recently was chief advisor to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade on Antarctic environmental matters. He has also been awarded both the Antarctic Medal and the Royal Society of New Zealand’s Hector Medal for physical sciences for his work in Antarctica.
