Applications are open until 3 December 2018 for a 3-year postdoctoral position at the University of Wollongong, Australia: tinyurl.com/uow-geodynamic… to work with an ARC-funded team funded to reconstruct the evolution of the Earth's mantle and volcanism over the past billion years.

In this article, we show how mantle plumes move over time under the influence of tectonic plates and mantle convection authors.elsevier.com/c/1bPlm,Ig4KqJ…

In this work, led by PhD student Alex Young we consider all solid Earth processes that affect sea level over tens of million years and show that mantle convection pushed Pangea up, resulting in low sea levels between 150 and 250 million years ago. #EARTH authors.elsevier.com/c/1eiG5,Ig4RIdh

One of Two - So these blobs in the mantle, it's possible that they move. Maybe. Big deal? theconversation.com/volcanoes-diam…

I'm looking for a postdoctoral researcher to develop predictive targeting tools for minerals from mantle convection models. Why not you? uow.edu.au/about/jobs/job…

It's out! Our latest paper on mantle convection and volcanic eruptions: theconversation.com/supercomputers… rdcu.be/dbEt6

In a recent paper, we show that correcting for inertia due to mass distribution within the solid Earth is important to predict past heat flow at the core-mantle boundary. This research paves the way for new magnetic field models in deep geological times. se.copernicus.org/articles/15/61…

Continents are weird: most terrestrial planets do not have any. In the most recent issue of Elements, Patrice Rey, Nicolas Coltice, and I propose that continents were weak, flat, and below sea level for the first two billion years of Earth's history. pubs.geoscienceworld.org/msa/elements/a…

This beautiful plate-tectonic dance of Earth's plates over nearly half the planet's life was created by Xianzhi Cao based on our recent study (Cao et al. 2024 tinyurl.com/5n72mmup) integrating the geology of the world with high-quality palaeomagnetic data. Environmental Futures @ UOW

Over 90% of Australians live in cities that also host universities. I should think that makes it difficult to train farmers. #qanda

Congratulations on your MBA and Dean's merit award Kylie Flament. I'm very proud of you! #mqgrads
