He was a leader in the discovery of this fauna in the limestones in Tasmania, often in difficult to access places. In 1979 he described the genus Tasmanognathus, the first conodont published from Tasmania. Burrett was also interested in tectonics, particularly of Asian regions. He produced the first terrane analysis of Eurasia. For over 30 years he taught geology at the University of Tasmania, being consistently rated as an exceptions teacher. Between 2003 and 2014, he was a key researcher in several projects in the University's Centre for Ore Deposit and Earth Sciences, examining the tectonic and metallogenic evolution of Southeast Asia. Burrett retired from the University in 2007, moving to Thailand where he was for some years Honorary researcher at the Palaeontological Research and Education Centre, Mahasarakham University. He was active in the Geological Society of Australia, chairing the Tasmanian Division from 19897 to 1900, and becoming a Distinguished Fellow of the Society in 2010. 1970 Career position - Demonstrator in geology, University of Tasmania 1970 1970 Education - BSc (hons), Queen Mary College, University of London 1972 1972 Career position - Secretary, Tasmanian Division, Geological Society of Australia 1978 1978 Education - Ph.D, University of Tasmania 1978? 1994 Career position - Lecturer in geology, University of Tasmania 1987 1990 Career position - Chairman, Tasmanian Division, Geological Society of Australia 1992 1994 Career position - Lecturer in geology, Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat (Oman) 1994 2006 Career position - Reader in geology, University of Tasmania 1997 2000 Career position - Head, School of Earth Science, University of Tasmania 2006 2006 Life event - Retired 2010 2025 Award - Distinguished Fellow, Geological Society of Australia The University of Tasmania (1890 - )
