My professional experience has been largely in the petroleum exploration industry in the area of geophysics. After spending several years jungle and desert based in developing countries followed by several years in city based operations in the USA, Europe and Australia, I developed an underlying interest that it should be possible to achieve a broader spectrum of benefits that encompass economic, environmental and societal advancement. This interest fed into a research Masters degree examining aspects ecological modernisation within Australian industry. As a follow on to this research I am undertaking PhD research examining the role of science in the development of policies to manage greenhouse gas emissions. My interests are in the areas of knowledge diffusion, sustainability and equity.
