Laureate Fellow to join Applied Geology
Renowned planetary scientist and Curtin Adjunct Professor Phil Bland is set to join the Department of Applied Geology following the announcement of the award of a prestigious Laureate Fellowship by the Australian Research Council (Curtin Media Release 10/08/11; Curtin News 10/8/11). The 5 year fellowship will enable Professor Bland and his team to further develop the Australian Desert Fireball Network, an array of observatories on the Nullarbor Plain that tracks the arrival of meteorite fireballs so that both their original orbits and points of impact can be determined. This allows fresh meteorite falls to be recovered for geochemical analysis together with the knowledge of their point of origin in the Solar System (Curtin News 11/1/11).
