Teaching, Field Demonstrating
& Outreach
Field Geology in the Digital Age
The University of Sydney,
School of Geosciences
​
A lab- and field-based capstone undergraduate course in which students combine structural and metamorphic geology, drill core logging, economic geology, and digital field mapping to reconstruct the tectono-metamorphic evolution of the Paleoproterozoic Broken Hill block, home to the world's largest Pb-Zn deposit.
Geochronology & Thermochronology
Victorian Institute of Earth and Planetary Sciences,
The University of Melbourne
​
An intensive Hons and MSc student subject covering the basic principles of Ar-Ar, Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, U-Pb (conventional Pb-Pb, U-Pb, SHRIMP, LA-ICPMS, CHIME), Lu-Hf and Re-Os, as well as fission track and (U-Th)/He thermochronology.
Field Geoscience, Flinders Ranges, Australia
The University of Adelaide,
Department of Earth Sciences
