An article entitled "Research excites oil industry" about our ICONS atlas of intracontinental basins recently appeared on Petroleumnews.Net. The article requires to sign in to the page.

My geosci e-mail is no longer active due to the School's migration to entralised e-mail services. My account remains active and the new e-mail is c.heine<at>usyd.edu.au (Replace the greater/less than signs with the @ sign).

I have left Sydney for a position with Norsk Hydro Global exploration starting in March 2007. I will be based in Oslo/Norway. My email address and this homepage with the School of Geosciences remain active.

The USyd GeoSci LaTeX course: Tue-Wed, Nov 23/24., Edgeworth David Building. More information here (the GeoSci WIKI pages). The course is supposed to start at 10am each day and should be an introduction to the LaTeX typesetting system for postgrads and staff of the School of Geosciences here in Sydney. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

The Kenn Plateau Movies are available here. Movies are in Quicktime 6 format.
