Dr. Samuel C Boone is a postdoctoral research fellow in the School of Earth Sciences, University of Melbourne. Prior to this, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Geosciences at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz.
His research concerns improving our understanding of the thermal and tectonic evolution of Earth's crust in relation to orogenesis, continental breakup and landscape evolution.
To do this, he integrates a range of temperature-sensitive radiometric dating techniques, such as fission track and (U-Th-Sm)/He thermochronology, with geochemistry, structural geology and stratigraphy in field and laboratory work.
