Yet we should not confuse chemistry with alchemy or biometeorology with astrology.

In 1981 he gained a doctorate in biometeorology from the University of Leeds.

Weather and Health: An Introduction to Biometeorology, last published in 1969.

The results of this study were presented in 1966 at the Fourth International Congress of Biometeorology.

International Journal of Biometeorology, 48 (1), 45-54.

Advisor to Executive Board of International Society of Biometeorology (ISB)

An "In memoriam" in the International Journal of Biometeorology stated that he had "carved new paths and approaches to the vast expanse of unexplored fields."

Served as Representative of International Society of Biometeorology in World Health Organisation (South East Asian Region) (1990-95).

He earned a bachelor of science degree in ecological science from the University of Edinburgh and a doctorate in biometeorology from the University of Leeds.

Bioclimatology is the interdisciplinary field of science that studies the interactions between the biosphere and the Earth's atmosphere on time scales of the order of seasons or longer (by opposition to biometeorology).

The methods and measurements traditionally used in biometeorology are not different when applied to study the interactions between human bodies and the atmosphere, but some aspects or applications may have been explored more extensively.

Also in the fourth century BC Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, developed an interpretation of man's dependence on weather and the planets that approximates to the modern science of biometeorology.

Two international scientific societies represent the two disciplines: the International Society of Biometeorology (ISB) and the Society for Biological Rhythms (SBR).

The organization's stated purpose is: "to provide one international organization for the promotion of interdisciplinary collaboration of meteorologists, physicians, physicists, biologists, climatologists, ecologists and other scientists and to promote the development of Biometeorology".

Commission 6 of the International Society of Biometeorology, a group under the auspices of the United Nations, has a committee working on a temperature measure that will serve in cold, heat, wind, rain and sun.

Two border sciences are working in the field reclaimed from astrology: the first is biometeorology, which studies the influence of atmospheric and cosmic conditions on life; the second is the study of the meaning and relevance of biological rhythms.

The International Journal of Biometeorology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal which publishes original research papers, review articles, and short communications on studies examining the interactions between living organisms and factors of the natural and artificial physical environment.

The International Society of Biometeorology (ISB) is a professional society for scientists interested in biometeorology, specifically environmental and ecological aspects of the interaction of the atmosphere and biosphere.

The journal is published by Springer Science+Business Media on behalf of the International Society of Biometeorology, its scope includes the fields of Earth and environmental science, life sciences, animal physiology, plant physiology and environmental medicine/environmental psychology.

He is a former Vice President of the Meteorological Society of New Zealand and is a founding member of the Australia-New Zealand Climate Forum as well as serving on the Executive Board of the International Society of Biometeorology from 1999-2001.
