Joanne Etheridge
Image Description
Joanne Etheridge has developed new electron diffraction and microscopy techniques to measure the structure of materials at the atomic scale. Through the application of these, as well as established techniques, she has solved a number of otherwise intractable problems across a diverse range of functional materials, including superconductors, semiconductors, ion-conductors, and photoactive and plasmonic materials. She has also led the establishment of ultra-high resolution (‘aberration-corrected’) electron microscopy in Australia, building the necessary theoretical and experimental expertise, as well as providing education and mentorship to many young researchers in this field.

Professor

Peter Cawood

FAA

Peter Cawood
Image Description
Peter Cawood is a geologist who has made major contributions to understanding the evolution of the continental crust over our planet’s 4.5 billion-year history. His work integrates direct field observations with leading laboratory techniques. Cawood’s major contributions include, establishing that continental fragments periodically amalgamate into supercontinents and that this amalgamation has occurred through much of Earth’s history. Further, he has shown that continental amalgamation and dispersal drive feedbacks with the atmosphere, oceans and mantle, resulting in preferential biasing of the rock record, and that application of microanalytical methods to sedimentary rocks provides a key to understanding crustal composition, and to seeing through the preservation bias.

Kliti Grice
Image Description
Kliti Grice is an internationally renowned organic geochemist and world-leading authority on molecular fossil and stable isotope geochemistry. Deep insight and excellence in applying advanced analytical approaches has enabled Grice to answer fundamentally important Earth Science questions. Her research into modern and ancient environments has greatly enhanced the understanding of Earth’s early life, microbial ecosystems of the past, aspects of plant and algal physiology and food webs. Grice pinpointed sulfide toxicity as an underlying cause of rapid biological turnover, by identifying the frequent presence of green sulfur bacteria in mass extinction sedimentary records. She also established the role of microbial activity in exceptional preservation of fossils.
