08 July 2020 GSSA Lunchtime talk with Geoffrey Howarth:
What martian meteorites reveal about the interior and surface of Mars
Geoffrey did his undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at Rhodes University receiving a PhD in Geology based on a study of Fe-Ti-V oxide ore formation in the Panzhihua mafic layered intrusion in SW China under the supervision of Prof. Steve Prevec. He went on to do a post-doctoral research fellowship with Prof. Lawrence Taylor at the University of Tennessee (USA). He then did a second post-doc at UCT from 2015 to 2017. Geoffrey was then appointed as an Assistant Professor at the University of Georgia (USA) where he worked for a year before returning to UCTas a Lecturer in the Department of Geological Sciences in 2019. Geoffrey received a P-rating from the NRF in 2018 and was recently added to UCTs Future Leaders 2030 program. He has active interests in a range of igneous petrology and economic geology projects, including: kimberlite petrogenesis, constraining mantle sources of the Bushveld Complex, the petrogenesis of the Karoo CFB, and constraining martian magmatism based on meteorites.
