Abstract: We congratulate our International Editorial Board (IEB) Coordinator Jim Chandler on his recent appointment (from 16th February 2009) to a Personal Chair of Geomatics at Loughborough University. Jim has been involved in UK photogrammetry since 1986, initially as a Ph.D. student at City University, London. From 1989 to 1993 he was responsible for a variety of innovative commercial photogrammetric contracts, whilst managing the Engineering Photogrammetry Unit, also at City University. He moved to Loughborough in 1994, where he was appointed Lecturer and then Senior Lecturer (1998). It was during a long spell on Council (1996–2005), for both the Photogrammetric Society and RSPSoc, that he became involved more closely in the management of The Photogrammetric Record. He played a critical role in establishing the current partnership with Blackwell Publishing (now Wiley-Blackwell) and then subsequently in overseeing the peer review process through coordination of the IEB. Jim has been involved in a variety of innovative research projects employing photogrammetry, ranging from recording rock art both in Australia and at home with English Heritage, through to measuring water surface topography, experimental flumes and coastal change (http:// www.staff.lboro.ac.uk/~cvjhc). Jim is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and a Trustee for the RICS Education Trust. He is currently Chairman of ISPRS The Photogrammetric Record 24(126): 205–208 (June 2009)
