Rate My Professor Andrew Merdith

Andrew Merdith is an ARC Externally-Funded Research Fellow and Lecturer in the School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences at The University of Adelaide. He is a computational Earth scientist whose research focuses on the long-term evolution of Earth’s surface conditions and the interactions between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere and mantle. His work employs models of plate tectonics, mantle dynamics, carbon cycling, palaeoclimate and landscape evolution to understand mechanisms behind icehouse-greenhouse transitions, continental weathering and the geological record, with particular emphasis on the Neoproterozoic and Proterozoic periods.
