You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.86.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''June Rosa Pitt Ross''' (2 May 1931 – 10 March 2012) was an Australian geologist, palaeontologist and biologist. She was amongst the first women to obtain a PhD in Australia, and one of the few women of the time to build a successful career in academia.

== Early life and education ==
June Rosa Pitt Phillips was born in [[Taree]], NSW and attended [[Gosford High School]] where she was a competitive swimmer and school captain.<ref name=":0">((Cite journal|last=Turner|first=S.|date=2007|title=Invincible but mostly invisible: Australian women's contribution to geology and palaeontology|url=http://sp.lyellcollection.org/lookup/doi/10.1144/SP281.11|journal=Geological Society, London, Special Publications|language=en|volume=281|issue=1|pages=165–202|doi=10.1144/SP281.11|bibcode=2007GSLSP.281..165T|issn=0305-8719))</ref><ref name=":2">((Cite news|date=1953-07-24|title=High School Notes|pages=4|work=Gosford Times and Wyong District Advocate (NSW : 1906 - 1954)|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article167378340|access-date=2021-03-17))</ref> At the encouragement of the school headmistress, she applied for and received a four year scholarship to the [[University of Sydney]], where she took a BSc with geology as a fourth subject in first year. After passing her third year exams with distinction, Ross undertook Honours work around [[Queanbeyan]], NSW. At the time she did not have a car, instead renting rooms at farms and exploring the surrounding area on foot.<ref name=":0" /> She graduated in 1952 with first class Honours and the Deas-Thomson Scholarship for geology and worked as a demonstrator after graduation.<ref name=":2" /> Her PhD fieldwork was spread across NSW, once again completed without a car by travelling on passenger and goods trains and renting rooms at farms. She completed her thesis in four years and immediately went overseas. It took the university two years to make contact with her to inform her that she had completed all the requirements for her PhD,<ref name=":0" /> making her one of first women in Australia to obtain the degree.

== Career ==
On completion of her thesis, Ross was awarded two postdoctoral scholarships: an [[1851 Research Fellowship]] to study at [[University of Cambridge]], and an [[American Association of University Women]] Scholarship to study in the United States. She chose the latter, and in 1959 with financial support from the Department of Geology at the University of Sydney she left Australia to study at [[Yale University]].<ref name=":0" /> At Yale she worked in the [[Peabody Museum of Natural History]] with a focus on [[Paleontology|palaeontology]], expanding on some of the work done by [[Joan Crockford-Beattie]] on [[bryozoa]]. Yale gave her a fellowship for her second year of study, and after that she received a US National Science Foundation Grant which included a half-time stipend. Whilst at Yale she attended graduate lectures given by Australian Sam Warren Carey which inspired her to stay and build a career in the United States.<ref name=":0" />

Ross became a full professor at [[Western Washington University]] in 1970. She was unable to gain a position in the geology department with her husband, Charles Ross, instead taking up a position in the biology department.<ref name=":0" /> Her research focused on bryozoans and she published over 160 journal articles over her career. Copies of some of her field notebooks have been digitised by the [[Biodiversity Heritage Library]].<ref>((Cite web|title=Ross, June - Biodiversity Heritage Library|url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/creator/237369|access-date=2021-05-11|website=www.biodiversitylibrary.org))</ref> At the university, she served as Chair of the Biology Department for several years and on the Faculty Senate for several years, spending one term as the president of the Senate. She was also a council member and then President of the International Association of Bryozoologists, and a council member and treasurer of the Paleontological Society for six years.<ref name=":1">((Cite web|date=2012-03-12|title=In memoriam: June Ross, 1931–2012|url=https://westerntoday.wwu.edu/news/in-memoriam-june-ross-1931-2012|access-date=2021-03-17|website=Western Washington University))</ref> Ross retired in 2004 as Professor Emeritus.

Outside the university, Ross was instrumental in establishing the local Family Planning Council and its successor, [[Planned Parenthood]], of [[Whatcom County, Washington|Whatcom County]]. She served as the first director of the Planned Parenthood clinic which was in the former St Luke's Hospital.<ref name=":1" />

== Awards ==
Based on her accumulated publications, Ross was awarded a [[Doctor of Science|DSc]] in 1974.<ref name=":0" />

== Legacy ==
The Charles A. & June R.P. Ross Research Fund was established by the [[Geological Society of America]] to support student research.<ref>((Cite web|title=Charles A. and June R.P.
