Considerable field experience in a wide range of different geological provinces, from oceanic crust to sapphirine granulites. Fieldwork experience has averaged 4.5 months per year and was built on a foundation of 12.5 years mapping for government geological surveys in Africa and Australia.

- East Tasmania deformed turbidite sequences (1983-1996)
- West Tasmania low metamorphic grade Neoproterozoic sequences (1983-1996)
