02/20:
Brennan O'Connell's paper (with Malcolm Wallace, Ash Hood and Noah Planavsky) on the peritidal deposits of the Cryogenian Angepena Formation was just published in Precambrian Research, offering insights into the shallow marine redox state in between the two Snowball Earth events.
Thanks to Geotop for having me present my research as part of their departmental seminar series at the Université du Québec à Montréal.
01/20:
Was great to visit Kingston, present some of my work to Queen's University Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering, and see the incredible collection of Ediacaran fossils of Guy Narbonne.
12/19:
My research on Cryogenian iron formations (with Malcolm Wallace, Ash Hood, Weiqiang Li, Ganqing Jiang, Galen Halverson, Dan Asael, Steph McColl and Noah Planavsky) has been published in PNAS!
Press coverage: New York Times; CNN; Radio Canada; Science
11/19:
Had a successful field trip to Sanjiang County, Guanxi Province (China) to look at Cryogenian rocks with Prof. Li Weiqiang and Prof. Chang-zhi Wu from Nanjing University. Thank you to Prof. Li for hosting me at the State Key Laboratory for Mineral Deposits Research (Nanjing University)!

Arrived in Montreal to begin my postdoc at McGill!
I have joined the Precambrian Research Office & Publican Society, the research group headed by Galen Halverson.
06/19:
Returned from a successful field trip to the Yukon, studying the Tonian and Cryogenian stratigraphy of the Ogilvie and Wernecke Mountains with Galen Halverson, Wilder Greenman, Malcolm Wallace, Ash Hood, Brennan O'Connell, Kelsey Lamothe and Tim Gibson.
The Polar Continental Shelf Program — Science Report 2018 describes some of our work conducted in the Werneckes in 2018.

I will be taking on a Postdoctoral Fellowship to work on the Tonian sedimentary archive of the Yukon with Prof. Galen Halverson at McGill University, funded by the Fonds de recherche du Québec - Nature et technologies.
Had a great session at GAC-MAC 2019 in Québec with Alessandro Ielpi entitled 'Precambrian sedimentology: Open session on recent advancements in paleogeographic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions in deep time'.
04/19:
Graduated from the University of Melbourne alongside and my supervisors and colleagues from the Sedimentology and Earth's Surface Evolution research group, headed by Malcolm Wallace and Ash Hood.
