Abstract
Abstract. The scientific career of Michael Rycroft (born in 1938) spans the space age, during which
significant changes have occurred in how scientists work, experiment, and
interact. Here, as part of his 80th birthday celebrations, we review
his career to date in terms of the social and structural changes in
collaborative international science. His contributions to research,
teaching, and management across solar–terrestrial and ionospheric physics as well as
atmospheric and space science are also discussed.
