Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Professor ADM (David) Walker, one of South Africa’s most distinguished scientists, died on 17 September 2018, aged 80. He was Professor of Theoretical Physics at the then University of Natal from 1972 (and Senior Professor from 1989) until he retired in 2002. After retirement, he continued as an active researcher until the end, as Emeritus Professor and Senior Research Associate of the now University of KwaZulu-Natal. After undergoing surgery in June, he unfortunately never really recovered. He will be missed by many, including his colleagues and students, as well as the wider space science community, both nationally and internationally.
