David Headley Green AM, FAA, FRS was an outstanding Australian geologist and world leader in experimental petrology and geochemistry. His research, initially at the Australian National University with A. E. Ringwood, and later at the University of Tasmania, shaped our understanding of the composition of the Earth’s mantle and the origin of the wide spectrum of volcanic rocks erupted in different global tectonic settings. David also had a significant impact on Antarctic science through studies of high-grade metamorphic rocks, but more broadly in fostering marine and climate science by championing the establishment at the University of Tasmania of a multidisciplinary research centre (now the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies). His achievements and scientific leadership were recognised with many international and national awards, including membership of the Order of Australia. A considerate and compassionate man, David is also remembered for his interest in and care for others.

David Headley Green AM， FAA， FRS 是一位杰出的澳大利亚地质学家，也是实验岩石学和地球化学领域的世界领导者。他最初在澳大利亚国立大学与 A. E. Ringwood 一起研究，后来在塔斯马尼亚大学进行研究，塑造了我们对地幔成分和在全球不同构造环境中喷发的广泛火山岩起源的理解。David 还通过研究高品位变质岩对南极科学产生了重大影响，但更广泛地说，他支持在塔斯马尼亚大学建立多学科研究中心（现为海洋和南极研究所），从而促进了海洋和气候科学的发展。他的成就和科学领导能力得到了许多国际和国家奖项的认可，包括澳大利亚勋章。David 是一个体贴和富有同情心的人，他还因对他人的关注和关心而被人们铭记。
