During his time with the Geological Survey of Queensland he was involved in the mapping of Mesozoic and Cenozoic deposits throughout Queensland, particularly in the Gulf Country, Cape York Peninsula, and the sand masses of Fraser Island coastline. He made a major contribution to the interpretation of Cenozoic geology and landscape development by the use of duricrust stratigraphy. Grimes came to be regarded as the Survey's expert on the Cenozoic. He became involved in research on the Tertiary Riversleigh fossil sites with Michael Archer, his ability to distinguish deposits from the aerial photos and on the ground leading to discovery of significant fossil vertebrate sites. In 1990 Grimes moved to Victoria and as a consultant geomorphologist concentrated on karst in both limestone and volcanic areas. He published extensively on karst in limestone formations of southern Australia and was involved in the management of the Australian Karst Index. Grimes was a leading member of the Australian Speleological Federation and the Australasian Cave and Karst Management Association, and published guide to a number of cave systems. 1968 1968 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc(Hons)) - University of Queensland 1969 1990 Career position - Geologist, Regional Mapping Section, Geological Survey of Queensland 1975 1991 Career position - Queensland Co-ordinator, Australian Karst Index, Australian Speleological Federation 1990 2014 Career position - Consultant geomorphologist 1999 2016 Career position - Co-Editor, Helictite 2009 2009 Award - Edie Smith Award, Australian Speleological Federation Grimes, Kenneth George (19441019-20160817)
