Professor Allan Ross Chivas FAA
distinguished for his work on the geology and geochemistry of Earth-surface processes.
Professor of Geosciences, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Wollongong
His latest toy (sorry, scientific instrument) is being installed right now. It's part of a set-up to determine the temperature of formation of any carbonate mineral anytime thoughout geological history. These will be the first direct temp measurements for most of geological time. The method was developed at Caltech but now there must be a dozen labs around the world setting to do this work. I wonder who will get results first?
