"I'VE BEEN LUCKY TO VOYAGE AROUND
ANTARCTICA, THE PACIFIC, UP TO THE NORTH POLE ITSELF. WE NEED HEALTHY OCEANS LIKE NEVER BEFORE. ALL OF OUR LIVES DEPEND UPON OUR SHARED WORLD OCEANS." .
STAFF SPOTLIGHT:
ARCTIC EXPLORER DR HUW LEWIS-JONES, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND CULTURE We could be a little biased, but we think you’ll agree when we say that we have some of the most fascinating lecturers working at Falmouth. From BAFTA-winning producers to acclaimed novelists, inspirational musicians and polar explorers, our academic staff members have a wealth of industry experience and connections. Just take a look at Dr Huw Lewis-Jones, Associate Professor of Environment and Culture. He is an environmental historian and expedition leader who joined Falmouth in 2018. Huw is a storyteller and seafarer, a field naturalist and wilderness guide, an award-winning author and teacher. He has a PhD from the University of Cambridge, directs research projects across the world, and leads voyages to challenging places. He’s a creative adventurer and conservation advocate, exploring new ways of thinking.

Huw has written multiple best-selling books, which have been published in eighteen languages. He continues to work as an international photo editor, an art director, an academic researcher, sometimes as museum curator, and often as polar bear guard. These days he encourages his students to spend as much time as they can outside and offline. He doesn’t just teach in lecture halls either. Huw can be found at festivals, on ships, by glaciers and on remote volcanic islands – from the South Pacific to the High Arctic. He likes to navigate boats into the ice, taking people north to see whales and polar bears in the wild, or south, to penguin rookeries, albatross colonies, and yet more ice.
