Much of his research has been related to applications to the oil, gas and coal industries having worked on exploration and development projects for a number of companies. For over 20 years he has been one of the lead tutors on a very successful Masters program in Petroleum Geoscience taught at Royal Holloway, in Russia and by Distance Learning. He has also regularly led training courses for industry clients in clastic sedimentology and in recent years a field-based reservoir sedimentology course. His book, Sedimentology and Stratigraphy, is now in its second edition and he is an author of over 80 scientific papers. He currently works at Royal Holloway University of London, and has also held positions at Liverpool University, Charles University in Prague and the University Centre on Svalbard, Norway.  Proffered Paper Presentations The following presentations will be made as part of the Symposium Program:  Unconventional hydrocarbon plays in the Permian succession, South Australia - Sandra Menpes South Australia, PEL 106A The Road to Development  - Talline Zarzavatjian Structural and Stratigraphic Evolution of the Gulf of Papua, Papua New Guinea: New Insights from a Modern 3D Seismic Survey - Andrew Botsford Determining well-bore pathways during multilateral drilling campaigns in shale resource plays: an example using chemostratigraphy from the Horn River Formation, British Columbia, Canada - Ken Ratcliffe Fluid flow features and magmatism in the Capel and Faust basins, offshore eastern Australia - Nadege Rollet Geothermal Potential in the Clarence-Moreton Basin, New South Wales: A Case Study in Reducing Uncertainties in Thermal Modelling - Marcus Haynes Aeromagnetics identifies oil & gas exploration potential for the Bedout Sub-basin - Priyanka Roy Chowdhury Data quality control and validation methodologies for quality assurance in geological modelling  - Michael McKillop Australasian asphaltite strandings revisited:  the effects of weathering and biodegradation on their biomarker profiles - Tony Hall Coastal Geothermal Energy Initiative: An innovative approach to assessing Queensland’s geothermal potential - Sarah Sargent An efficient method of converting scanned seismic images to SEG-Y data - Owen Dixon Unconventional Gas Mining: Insight from Pore to Mine Scale Modeling  - Huilin Xing PANDAS: High Performance Geocomputing Software and Its Application in Deep Mining   - Huilin Xing Understanding the uncertainty of gas saturation estimates: an example from a single subbituminous coal seam - Tennille Mares Shale gas potential in Papuan Foreland Basin - Mark KeYang Ma New Focus on the Bight Basin: Australian southern Rift  - Peter Boult Influence of basement structures on stress regimes in the Surat and Bowen Basins, southeast Queensland - Samuel Brooke-Barnett Vertical geochemical profiling of the marine Toolebuc Formation, Eromanga Basin– implications for shale gas and shale oil potential - Chris Boreham Petroleum Prospectivity of the Tasman Frontier Region: The Vast, Unexplored Frontier at Our Doorstep - Takehiko Hashimoto Assessing the Unconventional Hydrocarbon Resource Potential of Eastern Australia - Takehiko Hashimoto Using a 3D geological model to assess the spatial variability of formation groundwater chemistry in the Surat Basin, Queensland, Australia - Matthias Raiber Petroleum Potential of the Torres Basin, Offshore South East Papua New Guinea - Michael Swift Subduction history of the eastern Coral Sea - Maria Seton Enhanced Recovery and CO2 Storage in Bottomwater Drive Gas and Gas Condensate Reservoirs  - Yildiray Cinar Plate Tectonic Consequences of competing models for the Banda Sea subducted oceanic lithosphere - Christian Heine Thermal history and gas and geothermal prospectivity of the onshore Gippsland Basin: the present regime cooler - and hydrologically disturbed - in comparison to the past - Ben Harrison Gippsland Basin stratigraphic and CO2 migration modelling: workflows for building regional, geological carbon storage (GCS) reservoir models - John Miranda Crustal velocity and sediment thickness asymmetries along and between the conjugate Australian-Antarctic margins - Joanne Whittaker New Insights into the Structural and Thermal Development of the Papuan Foreland: Implications for Hydrocarbon Charge & Prospectivity - Gareth Cooper The Clarence-Moreton Basin in NSW;
