'''Jack D. Ives''' (October 15, 1931 – September 15, 2024) was a British-born Canadian montologist, an honorary adjunct research professor of geography and environmental studies at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, an author, and a prominent advocate of mountain issues at the global level. He was formerly director of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado, Boulder, founding editor of two peer-reviewed journals, chair of the Commission on High Altitude Geoecology under the auspices of the International Geographical Union, and a senior advisor on mountain ecology and sustainable development for United Nations University.

==Background and education== Ives was born in Grimsby, England, on October 15, 1931. In 1947 and 1948, as a high school student, he traveled by trawler to Arctic Norway, his first exposure to the landscapes that would shape his career.<ref name="pirineos">{{cite journal |last1=González-Trueba |first1=J.J. |last2=García-Ruiz |first2=J.

Cordingley. They then emigrated to Canada, where Ives obtained a doctorate in geography from McGill University, Montreal in 1956.<ref name="pirineos" /> Since Jack retired from his position at the University of California in 1997, the Ives have lived in Ottawa; they have four adult children and five grandchildren.

==Career== Ives began his career as a geomorphologist, with particular interest in glaciated and periglacial landscapes. His focus broadened over the years, and he became an advocate for both conservation and for equitable policies regarding the interests of indigenous stakeholders. González-Trueba and García-Ruiz conclude that "The contribution of Professor Ives to the study, knowledge, protection and development of mountain areas is incalculable."<ref name=pirineos />{{rp|11}}

===Canada=== From 1956 to 1957 Ives served as a research associate at the McGill Subarctic Research Station (MSARS) in Schefferville, Quebec.<ref name=fs-barry>{{cite book |last=Barry |first=Roger|editor1-last=Mainali |editor1-first=Kumar| editor2-last=Sicroff | editor2-first= Seth| title=Jack D.

Specifically, Richard Foster Flint had argued that the North American ice sheet originated in the Torngat mountains, accumulating in the coastal zone and then spreading westward down the inland slopes of the Torngats; this scenario would have been a mirror image of the well-documented model of glaciation in northern Europe. Based on geomorphological evidence, as well as on his perception that the so-called Torngat Mountain Range is actually an escarpment on the edge of a tilted peneplain with almost no western slopes, Ives refuted the previous model, proposing instead that inception of glaciation occurred across wide areas of the plateau as climate change permitted year-round snow cover to accumulate, a process he refers to as ''instantaneous glacierization.''<ref name=torngat>{{cite journal |last=Ives |first=J. |year=1957 |title=Glaciation of the Torngat Mountains, Northern Labrador|journal=Arctic |volume=10|issue=2 |pages=67–87 |url=http://pubs.aina.ucalgary.ca/arctic/Arctic10-2-66.pdf |access-date=1 April 2020}}</ref><ref name=naturwissenschaften>{{cite journal |author1-last=Ives |author1-first=Jack |author2-last=Andrews | author2-first=John | author3-last=Barry |author3-first=Roger | year=1975 |title=Growth and Decay of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and Comparisons with Fenno-Scandinavia |journal=Naturwissenschaften |volume=62|issue=2 |pages=118–125 |doi=10.1007/BF00623272 |bibcode=1975NW.....62..118I |s2cid=33873909 }}</ref> On completion of his doctorate, Ives was appointed assistant professor in McGill's Department of Geography, and, from 1957 to 1960, he served as field director of McGill Subarctic Research Station, where he initiated field research programs on permafrost and on the glaciation and deglaciation of Labrador-Ungava.<ref name=fs-barry />

From 1960 to 1967 Ives was assistant director and then director of the Geographical Branch of Canada's Department of Energy, Mines and Resources in Ottawa.<ref name="fs-barry" /> In that capacity he coordinated seven interdisciplinary expeditions to Baffin Island.<ref name=fs-barry /><ref name="baffin">{{ cite book | last=Ives | first=Jack | year =2017 |title= Baffin Island: Field Research and High Arctic Adventure, 1961-1967 }}</ref>

===Boulder, Colorado=== From 1967 to 1979 Ives served as director of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder, and professor of geography from 1967 to 1989.<ref name="pirineos" /><ref name=fs-barry /> In 1968 Carl Troll founded the Commission on High Altitude Geoecology under the auspices of the International Geographical Union, and invited Ives to join the organizing committee. In alternation with his collaborator Bruno Messerli, Ives served as president of that Commission from 1972 to 1980 and 1988–1996.<ref name=SMD>{{cite book|last=Ives|first=Jack|title=Sustainable Mountain Development: Getting the facts right|location=Kathmandu, Nepal|publisher=Himalayan Association for the Advancement of Science|isbn=978-9-937-26195-1|year=2013}}</ref>

While at Boulder, Ives founded and edited two peer-reviewed quarterly journals. ''Arctic and Alpine Research'' first appeared in 1969.<ref name=fs-barry /> In 1980 Ives, along with Roger Barry, Misha Plam, and Walther Manshard, founded the International Mountain Society (IMS). The society's stated purpose was: "...to strive for a better balance between mountain environment, development of resources, and the well-being of mountain peoples.."<ref name=pirineos /> The IMS functioned as publisher of record for ''Mountain Research and Development'', which 1981 Jack founded, and with Pauline edited, in 1981.<ref name=fs-barry /> Jack served as president of the IMS from 1980 to 2000.<ref name=fs-barry />

In 1973 Ives participated in the first meeting of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB) Project 6 - Mountains,<ref name=mrd2/> and was elected chair of the MAB-6 International Working Group, which started the ball rolling for the establishment in 1983 of the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in Kathmandu, Nepal.<ref name="pirineos" /><ref name=fs-messerli /> In 1979 the INSTAAR alpine research area at Niwot Ridge was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

From 1978 to 2000, Ives served as Research Coordinator for the United Nations University's project on Highland-Lowland Interactive Systems, later to be renamed Mountain Geoecology and Sustainable Development, which entailed fieldwork in the Himalayas, northern Thailand, Yunnan (China), Tajikistan, and Ecuador.<ref name=pirineos />

In 1982 and 1986, Ives was the primary organizer of the Mohonk Mountain conferences at Mohonk Mountain House in New York, sponsored by the UNU and the Mohonk Foundation.<ref name="fs-messerli" /> One result of the conferences was the publication of ''The Himalayan Dilemma'' (Ives and Messerli, 1989), which challenged the popular theory according to which highland population growth and poor land management by uneducated farmers was leading to catastrophic deforestation of the Himalayas.<ref name=fs-alford /><ref name=geography-forbes>{{cite book| last1=Forbes|first1=William| last2=Katkins |first2=Sylvia-Linda |editor1-last=Gaile |editor1-first=Gary | editor2-last=Willmott |editor2-first=Cort |title=Geography in America at the dawn of the 21st century | chapter=Chapter 23: Rural Development | page=101 |quote=The ability of geographers to challenge development myths using non-geographers' research is also important.

===Davis, California=== Beginning in 1989 Ives served as full professor and chair of the Department of Geography at the University of California, Davis.<ref name=fs-barry /> In 1993, after the disestablishment of the Geography Department, he transferred to the UC Davis Division of Environmental Studies.

A chain reaction had been set in motion by the 1982 and 1986 Mohonk Mountain Conferences.<ref name=fs-barry /> UN Under-Secretary General Maurice Strong, who had served as Honorary Chair of Mohonk II, became the Secretary General of the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit, also known as the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). Strong supported the proposals that had grown out of the Mohonk Mountain conferences, elaborated in publications by Jack Ives (notably ''The Himalayan Dilemma''), and promoted by a group known formally as Mountain Agenda, but also referred to as the Mountain Mafia.<ref name=fs-alford>{{cite book |last=Alford |first=Donald|editor1-last=Mainali |editor1-first=Kumar| editor2-last=Sicroff | editor2-first= Seth| title=Jack D.

The message of Chapter 13 has echoed for the ensuing three decades. A new hardcover volume was produced, ''Mountains of the World: A Global Priority'' ( Messerli and Ives, ed. 1997).<ref name=priority>{{cite book |editor1-last=Messerli | editor1-first=Bruno | editor2-last=Ives | editor2-first=Jack |title=Mountains of the World: A global priority|location= London and NY|publisher= Parthenon |isbn=1-85070-781-2|year=1997}}</ref> It was produced as the centerpiece of the review of Chapter 13 in 1997 at the Rio-Plus-Five at United Nations headquarters in New York City. Among the recommendations for mountain research and stewardship in the volume is Ives' proposal for the "creation of a montology — a science that is sensitive to mountain policy" — an "interdisciplinary, intercontinental, intersectoral" field (p. 464) responsive to the complexities of the challenges and opportunities inherent in mountains. Meanwhile, dozens of new governmental offices for mountain stewardship and non-governmental agencies, all focusing on the "people mountain interface" had been established around the world.<ref name=geography-basset>{{cite book| last1=Basset |first1=Thomas | last2=Zimmerer |first2=Karl |editor1-last=Gaile |editor1-first=Gary | editor2-last=Willmott |editor2-first=Cort |title=Geography in America at the dawn of the 21st century | chapter=Chapter 8: Cultural Ecology | page=101 |quote=The people-mountain interface was widely promoted and publicized as a top-level priority for global environmental institutions and organizations including the follow-up to Agenda 21 of the United Nations Conference/Environment and Development that was held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992... }}</ref> On 11 December 2001, Ives, representing Dr. Hans J.
