Dear colleagues of Roland,

I'm writing this to let you know of the very sad news of the sudden death of Roland on Sunday after a very brief illness which turned out to be an incredibly aggressive form of cancer. The department is in complete shock, and all our thoughts are with his wife and two young daughters at this time. He will be missed by everyone and words cannot do justice to the loss that he will be to both our scientific communities, and those of us who also knew him as a friend.

I'm sorry for the news, and having to send it via e-mail. I'm doing my best to contact people who he worked with / was working or was planning to work with, but i'm acutely aware that people will be missed as Roland seemed to work in a multitude of disciplines. I'd be very grateful if the news could be slowly filtered around the both the sea-ice community (CASSII and MOSAiC groups) and atmospheric chemistry (iCACGP and SCOR)

with great sadness

James France
