He has used laboratory experimental techniques to duplicate the very high pressures and temperatures which exist in the earth's crust and uppermost mantle. The experimental studies have led to models of the origins of, and relationships between, different volcanic magmas or melts in the earth. He has also led studies of the nature of fluids, particularly methane, water and carbon dioxide, in the deep earth, and their relationships with melting 1957 1957 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc(Hons)), University of Tasmania 1957 1959 Career position - Geologist, Australian Bureau of Mineral Resources 1958 1958 Award - 1851 Exhibition Overseas Scholarship 1960 1960 Education - Master of Science (MSc), University of Tasmania 1962 1962 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Cambridge 1962 1965 Career position - Research Fellow, Australian National University 1965 1968 Career position - Fellow, Australian National University 1967 1967 Award - Edgeworth David Medal, Royal Society of New South Wales 1967 1967 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Science (FAA) 1968 1974 Career position - Senior Fellow, Australian National University 1969 1970 Career position - Professorial Fellow, Norwegian Research Council 1974 1976 Career position - Professorial Fellow, Department of Geophysics and Geochemistry, Australian National University 1974 2024 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Science (FAA) 1975 1975 Career position - Visiting Professor, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, U.S.A. 1977 1977 Award - F.
