Rate My Professor Nancy Vickery

Dr. Nancy Vickery served as a Senior Lecturer in Earth Sciences at the University of New England (UNE), Australia, within the School of Environmental and Rural Science, Faculty of Science, Agriculture, Business and Law. She was listed as a research specialist in the Earth research group, focusing on earth sciences. Dr. Vickery administered the Fluid Inclusion Facility, equipped with a USGS heating-cooling stage for conducting fluid inclusion studies essential to geoscientific research on mineral deposits and geological processes. Her professional contact information at UNE included the phone number +61 2 6773 2496 and the email address nvicker2@une.edu.au. She contributed to educational efforts by serving as unit coordinator for courses, such as those hosted on the university's learning platform titled 'Nancy Vickery's Sandpit,' and appeared in university videos addressing common questions about the Bachelor of Geoscience degree.

Dr. Vickery's research career featured collaborations in geochemistry, ore geology, and analytical techniques applied to archaeology and environmental science. She co-authored the influential paper 'Non-destructive analysis using PXRF: methodology and application to archaeological ceramics' (Forster, N., Grave, P., Vickery, N., Kealhofer, L., 2011, X-Ray Spectrometry, 40(5), 389-398), which garnered over 237 citations for advancing portable X-ray fluorescence methods. Additional contributions include presentations like 'Widening the horizons within the Cobar Superbasin' (2012, Sydney Mineral Exploration Discussion Group), highlighting metal inventories in Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag deposits, and work on 'Supergene Enrichment Processes in Porphyry Systems: The Case of Veracruz' (2015, SEG conference poster). She provided expertise for studies on the Hera orebody (Fitzherbert et al., 2021) and participated in the New England Orogen conference (2010). Affiliated with the NSW Department of Primary Industries (nancy.vickery@dpi.nsw.gov.au), she supported geological surveys and mapping. In April 2021, Dr. Vickery departed UNE for a position in minerals exploration, extending her impact in the field.
