Frank Oldfield's immense contribution to palaeoenvironmental science is summarized in relation to: pollen analysis, vegetation history and peat stratigraphy; palaeolimnology and 210Pb dating; environmental magnetism, catchment—lake relationships and soil erosional history; multiproxy approaches; PAGES; and editing The Holocene. The tribute includes an introduction to the 14 other papers in this Special Issue, which were inspired in diverse ways by this remarkable scientist.

Key Words: Palaeoecology • environmental magnetism • palaeolimnology • pollen analysis • peatlands • radiometric dating • soil erosion • catchment history • multiproxy approaches • PAGES • The Holocene.
