Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Christine Mary Rutherford Fowler, known as Dr. Mary Fowler, was born in 1950. Her great-grandfather was Ernest Rutherford, the 'father of nuclear physics', and her grandfather, Rutherford's son-in-law, was the mathematical physicist Ralph H. Fowler. Mary Fowler studied mathematics at Girton College, Cambridge, graduating with a first class BA in 1972. That same year she joined Darwin College, Cambridge to undertake post-graduate studies in geophysics and completed her PhD in 1976. Her doctoral thesis was titled "Seismic Studies of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge". In 1977-1978 Dr. Fowler was a Royal Society European Fellow at ETH Zürich in Switzerland. She joined the University of Saskatchewan as a research associate in 1981. Dr. Fowler was assistant professor in 1982-1983, before returning to her research associate position. She remained associated with the university as an adjunct professor between 1991 and 2001. In 1992 Dr. Fowler joined Royal Holloway, University of London, as a lecturer; she was later promoted to senior lecturer. Between 2002-2008, she was head of the Department of Earth Sciences. Dr. Fowler was made professor of Geophysics in 2003, and in 2011 she was appointed dean of the Faculty of Science. In April 2012 Dr. Fowler was elected the sixth Master of Darwin College, Cambridge, in 2012, retiring in 2020.
