Geoscientist researcher/explorer/inventor with 15+ years experience in publishing

Profile Summary

I publish research in top international journals with a focus upon geochemistry and igneous petrology, and more recently, climate science. I also have published method advances aimed at improving analytical technologies. Most of my research papers are lead-authored and I have published one single-authored paper https://doi.org/10.1130/G38684.1. Almost all of my publications result from working in multi-disciplinary teams. I enjoy editing the work of others inside and outside my field to improve clarity and deliver a succinct and citable message. I especially enjoy creating graphics and figures that tell a story. I'd like to help you get the best result from your hard work. I've worked across commercial and public sectors in research, including as a: Mineral explorer: Rio Tinto Exploration, Gaiaxiom Pty Ltd (Australia) Geoscience researcher: Macquarie University, Leeds University, Manchester University, Research Complex at Harwell (Australia/UK) Volcanologist: Canarian Institute of Volcanology (Spain)
