Biography
I am an Environmental Scientist who has worked all over the world in geomorphology and environmental quality. I have worked consistently in sedimentology and geochemistry since 1987, studying geomorphic processes and using geochemical techniques to gain insights as to how and when sediments were deposited. I spent ~20 months on high latitude fieldwork, with four trips to Antarctica, three to Iceland and several to Alaska and Canada. Since 1996 I have worked on contaminant transport and mitigation within Antarctica, and since 2002 I have worked on rehabilitation of contaminated sites, particularly base metal mines, within Australia. Most of my research involves environmental geochemistry, and particularly understanding, using and extending the use of environmental X-rays using techniques such as X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and X-ray diffractometry.
Research Interest
I have diverse research interests encapsulated by three research programs: (i) Environmental science, (ii) Geomorphology and (iii) Archaeometry.
