Professor\nDavid J. Batten passed away on February 14, 2019 after battling with\ncancer.  He had for\nthe past four years been living in a small village surrounded by the\nbeautiful Herefordshire countryside, and the last weeks of his life were spent\nat St Michael\u2019s Hospice in Bartestree, Herefordshire, England.  David\nwas born in 1943 in Watford, England and was brought up in Croydon, South\nLondon within easy reach of the local countryside. After his \u2018O\u2019 levels\nDavid moved with his family and attended boarding school in Canada. He later\ngraduated from Queen\u2019s University, Canada with a BA in Liberal Arts in\n1964 and a BSc in Geology with a minor in Biology the following year.  He\nwas awarded an MSc in Micropalaeontology from University College London in\n1966, and a PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1969 for research on\nBritish Wealden (Lower Cretaceous) palynomorphs and their facies\ndistribution, under the supervision of Norman Hughes.  David remained\nat Cambridge for two years before taking up employment in industry\n(Robertson Research and BP).  He moved to the University of\nAberdeen as a Lecturer in 1976, relocating to the University of Wales,\nAberystwyth, in 1990 where he was promoted to a personal chair in 1992.\n With the closure of the Geology Subdepartment there in 2002, he\nbecame affiliated with the University of Manchester. David is survived by\nhis daughter Sarah and his son Alexander and one grandchild, Adelina who\nlive in Canada and the USA respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            David is best known for his contributions to\nMesozoic terrestrial palynology and palynofacies analysis, his research\ncovering a wide range of palynological and paleobotanical topics including the\nNormapolles pollen group and phytogeographic provinces in the Mesozoic and\nCenozoic, and Mesozoic and Tertiary megaspores. \nDavid\u2019s many publications on palynofacies, from the early 1970s onwards,\nwere to shape the way palynologists have approached this important subject.\nWealden palynology remained David\u2019s abiding passion, and his research\nincorporated pollen, microspores, megaspores, chlorococcalean algae, freshwater\ndinoflagellates, macropaleontology, and palynofacies analysis, setting new\nstandards for rigorous documentation and thoughtful interpretation. The\n780-page English Wealden Fossils<\/em>\npublished by the Palaeontological Association, London in 2011 and edited by\nDavid, with five of its 35 chapters authored or co-authored by him, has\nresulted in a masterly and beautifully illustrated synthesis of the Wealden\nbiota.  Its sobriquet \u2018the Wealden Bible\u2019\nis richly deserved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 David served as Editor-in-Chief of Cretaceous Research<\/em> (1988\u20132007, 2011\u20132012) and Editor-in-Chief of the Palaeontological Association which included editing its flagship publication Palaeontology<\/em> (1999\u20132008), responsibilities he took very seriously and which benefitted enormously from his editorial vision and meticulous attention to detail. In spite of the premature curtailment of David\u2019s university career in 2002, he supervised or co-supervised eight MSc students and 14 PhD students. His publishing output included 193 refereed papers and chapters in books, very many as first or sole author, along with 12 edited books, special issues, and field guides.\u00a0 David collaborated with colleagues around the world, and is particularly fondly remembered by many friends and colleagues in China, having been appointed to a Distinguished Visiting Professorship for Senior International Scientists by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Nanjing in 2011\u20132012. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Those\nwho knew David will remember a kind, rather reserved, deeply reflective and\nunassuming individual who held himself always to the highest standards. As a\nsupervisor he led by example. In recognition of an outstanding career, David was\nawarded the T.M. Harris Medal of the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany,\nIndia in 1998, the Jongmans Medal of the Royal Geological and Mining Society of\nthe Netherlands in 2006, and an honorary life membership of The\nPalaeontological Association, London in 2011. He was awarded the prestigious Medal\nfor Scientific Excellence of AASP\u2013The Palynological Society in 2018. A broader\naccount of David\u2019s life and career appears in the citation for this medal (by\nM.J. Head) followed by David\u2019s own detailed response, both appearing in the\njournal Palynology<\/em> to be published\nlater this year.  A list of David\u2019s\npostdocs\/research fellows, research students, and publications is given below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
