This is my personal home page, with research summaries, information and links relating to petrology, mineralogy, and the use of computers in teaching. Elsewhere there is also an official research profile page.

Petrology and Tectonics Research:
Information and other materials relating to my own research and that of my colleagues and graduate students.

Practical Aspects of Thermobarometry:
A guide to the determination and interpretation of P-T histories of metamorphic rocks, including thermobarometry and phase diagram calculation using THERMOCALC and the Holland and Powell thermodynamic data-set.

OESIS: Oxford Earth Science Image Store:
Images for Earth Science teaching, a project in development. Includes a virtual field trip to NW Scotland.

Internal Stuff:
Materials for internal circulation (access restricted to the Oxford domain), including research-related pages and fourth-year project information.

Teaching Materials:
Links to my own course materials on WebLearn and "Old WebLearn", to be updated in the light of course changes.

My apologies to those who have found my pages of links useful in the past. I'm afraid I am no longer able to maintain them. I hope to update other areas of the site over the summer 2010.
