AGU member since 1985.
Professor of Geochemistry,
Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, since 2004.
Research has focused on using isotope geochemistry to study silicic
magmatism, crustal fluid flow, lower crustal processes, and mantle
geochemistry. More recently, interests have broadened to the origin and
early differentiation of the terrestrial planets and large-scale
surface processes such as ocean circulation. An underlying research
theme has been the development and use of new isotopic methods. Since
1992, this has focused on MC-ICPMS. B.S., Geology, 1973, Ph.D.,
Physics, 1977, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Lecturer, Scottish
Universities Research and Reactor Centre, 1981–1986; professor,
University of Michigan, 1986–1998; professor, ETH Zurich, 1998–2004,
