Joy Tivy FRSE FRSGS FIB (1924–1995) was a 20th century Irish physical geographer at the University of Glasgow. She specialised in biogeography and has been credited for having helped raise the profile of biogeography as a distinct sub-discipline of geography. She published over 40 papers, books and reports and she was often asked to advise government agencies and other organisations. She was a strong advocate of the importance of field studies for providing essential skills for geography graduates. Her capacity as a teacher was as highly regarded as her research — she was known to be enthusiastic and engaging to a wide range of audiences - a medal has been created by the Royal Scottish Geographical Society in honour of her commitment to Geographical Education and Teaching.

  • Joy Tivy, née le 24 août 1924 à Carlow (Irlande) et décédée le 10 juillet 1995, est une professeure irlandaise de géographie physique à l'Université de Glasgow. Elle contribue à faire de la biogéographie une sous-discipline distincte de la géographie. Son livre Biogeography: A Study of Plants in the Ecosphere a été l'ouvrage de biogéographie le plus vendu au monde. Elle a publié plus de 40 articles, livres et rapports et conseillé de nombreuses organisations et agences gouvernementales. Ses qualités d'enseignante sont aussi appréciées que ses recherches : elle est connue pour être enthousiaste et engageante auprès d'un large éventail de publics. En l'honneur de son engagement dans l'enseignement, et particulièrement celui de la géographie, la Royal Scottish Geographical Society a créé une médaille à son nom, la Joy Tivy Education Medal .
