Early life and career
Born in East Kilbride, in Lanarkshire,[3] he has two younger brothers, Graeme and Frazer.
Stewart was a child actor and holder of an Equity card. In 1978 he appeared in a Scottish series, Huntingtower.[3][4] Having left acting behind, he studied geology and earth science, and graduated from Strathclyde University (Glasgow, Scotland) in 1986 and obtained hisdoctorate in 1990 at the University of Bristol on research into earthquakes in Greece and Turkey.[3] He began teaching geology at theWest London Institute of Higher Education in Osterley (occupying the Warden's flat with his wife for several years), and then Brunel University due to its merger with WLIHE. After 12 years in London he moved back to Scotland to develop a new career as a science broadcaster.[3] Nostalgic for Brunel, he said "And invariably, you move on to places that for all their benefits, seem surprisingly narrow, and more fallow, in comparison. In short, it was a remarkable place to be".[5]
[edit]Television career
He re-appeared on television as an expert academic for Helike - The Real Atlantis, a 2002 BBC Horizon film about the destruction of the Greek city of Helike by earthquake and tidal wave in 373 BCE, newly rediscovered in 2001.[6] This, he says, "gave me a hunger to get more geology on telly," and he moved to Glasgow to try to get television projects off the ground.[7] He featured in another Horizon film,Earthquake Storms, in April 2003,[8] before appearing as a team member in the fourth series of Rough Science (shown January/February 2004), a series where a group of scientists is challenged to solve tasks using only the resources of the local surroundings and a small set of supplies.[9] In March 2011, shortly after the 2011 Japan Earthquake he presented Japan Earthquake: A Horizon Special. [10]
Solo series and films he has subsequently presented include:
- Journeys from the Centre of the Earth (shown September/October 2004), six one-hour films charting how geology has shaped the history of the Mediterranean,[11] shown in the United States on Discovery's Science Channel as Hot Rocks: Geology of Civilization.[12] The series won the prestigious "Best Earth Science programme" award at the 2005 Jackson Hole Film Festival.[3]
- Journeys into the Ring of Fire (June 2007); four one-hour films showing how rocks shaped the history and culture in Japan, Peru, Indonesia and California.[13]
- Earth: The Power of the Planet (November 2007), U.S. title: Earth: The Biography, five one hour films (Volcano, Oceans,Atmosphere, Ice, Rare Earth) about the forces that have shaped the planet and made it what it is.[14][15][16] Cerapachys iainstewarti, a species of Madagascar ant discovered during the filming of this series, was named after Stewart.[17]
- Ten Things You Didn't Know About... Volcanoes (July 2006), Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Avalanches, (January 2008).
- The Climate Wars (September 2008), three one-hour films tracing the history of the science and politics of global warming.[18]
- Hot Planet (December 2009), with Kathy Sykes, examined global warming ahead of the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.[19]
- How the Earth Made Us (2010), ASIN: B002SZQCA2 (Blueray), U.S. title: How the Earth Changed History, ASIN: B003DC8824,[20]five one-hour films on how geology, geography and climate have influenced mankind.
- Walking Through Landscapes,(October 2010) Radio show, BBC Radio Scotland.
- Making Scotland's Landscape, (October 2010) BBC television.

Iain StewartPlot Summary for"How to Grow a Planet" (2012)
Geologist Ian Stewart explain in three stages of natural history the crucial interaction of our very planet's physiology and its unique wildlife. Biological evolution is largely driven bu adaptation to conditions such as climate, soil and irrigation, but biotopes were also shaped by wildlife changing earth's surface and climate significantly, even disregarding human activity.
