| Sue O’Reilly | Recognised in the Web of Science’s Highly Cited Researchers 2018: https://hcr.clarivate.com/
|
| Sue O’Reilly, Bill Griffin | 
The 11th IKC Volume, “Cratons, Kimberlites and Diamonds Part 2” (Mineralogy and Petrology, 2018, 112) was dedicated to Sue O’Reilly and Bill Griffin. Extract from the dedication: ...a formidable scientific team was born. [Sue and Bill] have made transformative contributions to the study of the lithospheric mantle through the development of “4-dimensional geochemical tomography”... [integrating] geochemical-petrologic tools with geophysical observables and numerical models for a holistic view of the continents through time. Sue and Bill’s contribution to our understanding of Earth’s crust and mantle is profound and it is most worthy that a volume on the 11th Kimberlite Conference is named after them. |

VISITORS
CCFS fosters links nationally and internationally through visits of collaborators to undertake defined short-term projects, or short-term visits to give lectures and seminar sessions. Formal collaborative arrangements are facilitated by partnerships in grants with reciprocal funding from international collaborators.
Australian and international visitors are listed in Appendix 7. They have participated in collaborative research, technology exchange, seminars, discussions and joint publications and collaboration in postgraduate programs. For More information see the section on International Links.
