His areas of study were in near Tumut in New South Wales and Papua New Guinea. With students and staff from the Australian National University (ANU) he coordinated the mapping of a large area around Eden and Twofold Bay on the N.S.W. coast. Crook taught at the ANU for over 30 years before taking early retirement in 1992. He then became Science Program Director of the Undersea Laboratory at the University of Hawai'i before returning to A.N.U. in 2004 as a Visiting Fellow. In 1983 Crook was awarded the Clarke Medal by the Royal Society of New South Wales. The prehistoric, armoured lobe-finned fish discovered near Eden was named Edenopteron keithcrooki in his honour. 1954 1954 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), University of Sydney 1956 1956 Education - Master of Science (MSc), University of New England, New South Wales 1959 1961 Career position - Postdoctoral studies, University of Melbourne and University of Alberta, Canada 1961 1992 Career position - Lecturer in sedimentology and stratigraphy, Australian National University 1967 1967 Career position - Founding Member, Editorial Board, Sedimentary geology 1967 1967 Education - BA, Australian National University 1980 1987 Career position - Chairman, Committee on Sedimentology, International Union of Geosciences 1983 1983 Award - Clarke Medal, Royal Society of New South Wales. 1986 1986 Career position - Convenor, 12th International Sedimentological Conference, Canberra 1986 1989 Career position - Chairman of the Executive, Consortium for Ocean Geoscience of Australasian Universities 1987 2006 Career position - Editor-in-Chief, Sedimentary geology 1992 2004 Career position - Science Program Director of the Undersea Laboratory, University of Hawai'I, Honolulu, Hawaií, U.S.A. 2004 2017 Career position - Visiting Fellow, Australian National University Australian National University (1946 - )
