Alumni
Welcome to all alumni and friends of the Research School of Earth Sciences.
I graduated at the bottom of the mid 1970’s mining boom and after a year of pushing to launch a career in geology, during which I worked on the 25th International Geological Congress in Sydney, and part-time for a geological exploration company in the Michelago area, I made the decision to try teaching.
After my undergraduate degree in geology in Sydney I worked in the minerals industry for 3 years as an exploration geologist.
