Career Trajectory
Bio
It is difficult to choose examples as highlights from the plethora of Geoff’s achievements. For example, he was a member of the Lunar Sample Analysis Team (LSAPT) at the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas. LSAPT was responsible for ensuring how the Apollo 11 samples would be handled and for considering the science which would be carried out. This preceded the first studies of the carbon chemistry of the Moon, whereby it was shown that it is based essentially on the implantation of carbon ions from the solar wind into the lunar surface to form a species behaving chemically like iron carbide, leading in turn to Geoff’s first major award in 1973, the NASA Gold Medal for Scientific Achievement. Likewise, a molecular palaeothermometer approach was developed, based on the distributions of long chain ketones in a group of marine algae, which provides valuable palaeoclimate data, including for situations where other approaches to obtaining temperature information from the geological past are not appropriate. Extension of Geoff’s earlier work on plant wax alkane distributions is now routinely used worldwide by relating these distributions to unravelling aspects of climate change from the records preserved in sediment cores.
