We are excited to announce our keynote speakers for GGRiP 2025, who will share their expertise from diverse geochemistry backgrounds, covering topics such as palaeoclimates, fluid-rock interactions, mountain belt evolution, biomineral organics and micropalaeontology.
ECR Prominent Lecture Series
Dr Ross Whiteford
Ross is a postdoc in computational geochemistry at Royal Holloway, University of London. He uses statistical and mechanistic models to reconstruct a variety of palaeoclimate signals, particularly those related to palaeo pH and palaeo CO₂.
Postdoctoral Research Medal
Dr Aled Evans
Aled is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, he uses geochemistry and geophysics to investigate fluid-rock interactions primarily in ocean crust and lithosphere.
Keynote Speakers
Professor Clare Warren
Professor Clare Warren’s research focuses on the evolution of mountain belts. She investigates rates, timescales and processes of element mobility, with a view to understanding how, where and when different elements concentrate or dilute in the crust.
Professor Kirsty Penkman
Kirsty is a Professor in Analytical Chemistry at the University of York, developing and applying analytical approaches to archaeological and geological questions. Her research focus is on the analysis of biomineral organics and how these molecules can inform us of an organism’s life and death history.
Dr Tom Dunkley Jones
Tom is a micropalaeontologist, specializing in the study of fossil coccolithophore algae. His current research is focused on using coccolithophore organic biomarkers, and the isotopes and Sr/Ca ratios of calcium carbonate coccolith-plates to reconstruct past ocean and climate change.
