Biography
Mark leads the Orebody Geoscience Research Group made up of geologists, geophysicists, chemists, engineers and data scientists all working together to image orebodies and understand ore-forming processes across scales. His own research applies micro and nano-scale observations to identify vectors within ore systems and how we can leverage exploration data across the mining value chain. Mark is currently focused on developing applications for core-scale microbeam X-ray fluorescence mapping with the new Maia Mapper instrument and incorporating these results into multiscale orebody analysis.
Prior to joining CSIRO, Mark worked as a structural geologist examining large-scale folding in the northern Zagros Mountains and the application of digital mapping technologies to structural geology. This work followed his PhD at the University of Liverpool where he worked on the deformation and metamorphism of rock at high temperatures in the Scottish Highlands.
Alongside his scientific research and leadership responsibilities within CSIRO, Mark is a member of the Pride@CSIRO network and sits on the CSIRO Mineral Resources Diversity and Inclusion Committee to improve the working environment for all his colleagues.
