Dewey returned to the UK in 1982 as Professor of Geology at the
University of Durham, a position he held for four years. As with another Durham geologists before him,
Lawrence Wager, Dewey was appointed Professor of Geology at the
University of Oxford (and Fellow of
University College) in 1986, a position he held until his resignation in 2000. Since then he has returned to the US as Professor of Geology at the
University of California at Davis, although he maintains a position as Senior Research Fellow at University College, Oxford.
