Geological Antarctic Field Notebook - Bob Tingey #6

Bob Tingey joined the Bureau of Mineral Resources (B.M.R.), Geoscience Australia’s predecessor organisation, as a geologist at the end of 1966. After spending several years working with the B.M.R. in Papua New Guinea, Bob travelled to Antarctica at the end of 1970. This was to be the first of his seven trips to Antarctica to undertake geological field work.
The breadth and significance of Bob’s Antarctic work has been officially recognised by the awarding of an Antarctic Medal in 1990 in which Bob was described as “one of Australia’s best known, widely respected and influential Antarctic scientists…His contributions to Antarctic science and to Australia’s international reputation have been very significant” AAD . The Tingey Glacier, Tingey Nunataks and Tingey Rocks were also named in Bob’s honour.
Bob's autobiography, Frozen Footsteps, was published in 2014 and tells the remarkable story of Bob's life. The total number of tasks for this dataset is: 91, number transcribed is 0 and number validated is 0.

鲍勃·廷伊（Bob Tingey）于1966年底以地质学家身份加入澳大利亚地质科学局（Geoscience Australia）的前身机构——矿产资源局（Bureau of Mineral Resources, B.M.R.）。他曾在巴布亚新几内亚的矿产资源局任职数年，随后于1970年底前往南极洲，这也是他先后七次赴南极开展地质野外工作的首次行程。

鲍勃在南极地区的地质工作广度与重要性已获官方认可：他于1990年获颁南极奖章（Antarctic Medal），颁奖评语中将其描述为“澳大利亚最知名、广受敬重且极具影响力的南极科学家之一……他为南极科学事业以及澳大利亚的国际声誉所作出的贡献意义非凡”（澳大利亚南极分部，Australian Antarctic Division, AAD）。此外，廷伊冰川（Tingey Glacier）、廷伊冰原岛峰（Tingey Nunataks）与廷伊岩（Tingey Rocks）均以他的姓氏命名。

鲍勃的自传《冰封足迹》（Frozen Footsteps）于2014年出版，记述了他非凡的人生历程。本数据集总计包含91项任务，目前已转录的任务数量为0，已校验的任务数量为0。
