Professor Dame Jane Francis is the Director of the British Antarctic Survey.

She is no stranger to surviving in extreme conditions, because for much of her career her research has taken her to the Polar Regions. Travelling with her fossil hammer, her principal interests are in palaeoclimatology and palaeobotany. She specialises in the study of fossil plants, and how they shape our understanding of climates in the distant past, when Antarctica was much warmer.

In 2002 she received the Polar Medal, for her outstanding contribution to British polar research, and in 2013 she became the first woman to head the British Antarctic Survey.



简-弗朗西斯教授是英国南极调查局的局长。

她对在极端条件下生存并不陌生，因为在她职业生涯的大部分时间里，她的研究都是在极地地区进行的。与她的化石锤一起旅行，她的主要兴趣是古气候学和古植物学。她专门研究植物化石，以及它们如何影响我们对远古时期气候的理解，那时南极洲要温暖得多。

2002年，她获得了极地奖章，以表彰她对英国极地研究的杰出贡献，并在2013年成为英国南极调查局的第一位女性负责人。
