[3] In 1970 Elsworth graduated with honours from the Victoria University of Manchester with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics.
[1] Her certificate of election reads: Professor Elsworth's pioneering work in establishing and maintaining an important scientific investigation into the internal structure of the Sun using helioseismic data from the autonomous Birmingham network of observatories complemented by extant data from modes of intermediate degree has permitted an unprecedented investigation into the inner core of the Sun where the nuclear reactions are taking place.
Furthermore, Professor Elsworth has led her group to study solar-cycle-related variations in the Sun's convective envelope, providing important structural information to theorists investigating the solar dynamo.
Her current extension to seismic studies of stars other than the Sun is already contributing to a transformation in our understanding of stellar evolution.
