John Mason

Our team member and friend John Mason unfortunately and untimely passed away on September 20, 2024. We remember and celebrate his many contributions to Skeptical Science with a collection of personal memories.

John Mason graduated in geology from Aberystwyth University in 1985. He went on to undertake research on ore genesis and supergene alteration in the metalliferous mining districts of North and Central Wales, leading to an M Phil and a number of key papers. He also worked for a time in mineral exploration with the British Geological Survey and then the private sector. His interest in climate came via investigating severe weather events and their aftermath and seeing the massive changes that past climate shifts have brought to the Welsh landscape. When not doing any of the above, landscape and weather-photography plus sea-angling kept him occupied. As if all of this was not already enough, John also authored two excellent books on the geological and environmental history of Wales, Wales: The Missing Years. Tales from an area the size of Wales - 4,567 to 700 million years ago and The Making of Ynyslas.
