Fred Jourdan

Professor, Curtin University

Professor, Curtin University Fred Jourdan is a professor and geochronologist / geochemist in the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, at Curtin University, Australia. Since 2007, he is the director and primary user of the Western Australian Argon Isotope Facility (part of the John de Laeter Center) dedicated to 40Ar/39Ar geochronology. His research focuses on the application and development of the argon geochronometer to understand (1) the role of volcanism on past climate changes, and (2) the evolution of the volcanism and impact process on Earth and throughout the solar system. He is the unit coordinator of Dynamic Earth where he teaches Geology to large cohorts of first year students. He is passionate about teaching and uses a relax, yet engaging approach to learning where he applies flip and micro-flip pedagogy techniques. He is committed to actively transmit his passion for science to the public through school visits, radio interviews and news articles as well as leading the Geooutreach group at Curtin University. He is devoted to help his discipline flourish in his role of Discipline Lead.

Michael Kinsela

Lecturer in Coastal and Ocean Geoscience, University of Newcastle

Lecturer in Coastal and Ocean Geoscience, University of Newcastle Mike is a coastal marine geoscientist and lecturer in the School of Environmental & Life Sciences at the University of Newcastle, Australia. His primary research focus is coastal barrier-estuary systems and their depositional landforms, including beaches, dunes, deltas and the shoreface-continental shelf. He combines field-based sampling, remote sensing, spatial analysis and modelling techniques to study coastal sediment dynamics, landform evolution, ocean processes and coastal natural hazards. He completed his PhD at the University of Sydney and was a coastal & marine research scientist at the NSW Department of Planning & Environment prior to joining the University of Newcastle. He co-founded the CoastSnap Community Beach Monitoring citizen science project and has a keen interest in finding pathways towards adaptive coastal management aided by community engagement, remote sensing monitoring and evidence-based decision making.
