  • Three oral presentations associated with greisen deposits and my MSc thesis including the AGC Convention in 1984 (1984-1989).

 

  • Three papers (two given orally at separate Sydney Basin Symposia) on geological aspects of gas in coal (1992-1995). In 2013 presented on “The Influence of Biogenic Recharge on CSG” at the Brisbane PESA Technical Lunch and published a paper on a similar topic in the February 2014 edition of the AusIMM Bulletin on Coal Seam Gas.

 

  • Three iconic papers on subsidence, windblast and periodic weighting under massive strata presented at symposia organized by the Mine Subsidence Society (1995, 1998) and the AusIMM in 1996. Also presenting at the 9th International Mining Geology Conference in Adelaide later this year.

 

  • Six iconic papers relating to my PhD on coal formation and long distance correlations across the northern Sydney Basin (orally in 1998, 2000a and b, 2004 and 2006 at the Sydney Basin Symposium; Int Journ of Coal, 2002)

 

  • As a NSW Coalfield Geology Committee Convener, achieved ratification for the replacement of the Wollombi Coal Measures of the Hunter Valley with the Newcastle Coal Measures (NSW Geol Survey Report – GS2004/415).

 

  • Analysis of “lost reserves” reported the year prior to coal mine closures in NSW and QLD during the last 4 decades that was given at the Sydney Basin Symposium April 2010, and subsequently at an AusIMM Technical Lunch Talk in Brisbane. (Also gave Dinner Speech at the 2010 Sydney Basin Symposium – concerning Continental Drift and Creation Science.)

 

  • Presented at the AusIMM February technical talk a summary on the status of the review of the Australian Coal Guidelines due to be ratified mid-2014.
