Professor Gerald Dickens

Professor of Geology & Mineralogy (1843), Geology


Biography

I am originally from the San Francisco area. I received a BSc in Chemistry in 1989 from the University of California, Davis, and a PhD in Oceanography in 1996 from the University of Michigan. I was a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer at James Cook University in Australia from 1997 to 2001, and an Associate Professor and Full Professor at Rice University from 2001 to 2020. I joined Trinity College Dublin in the summer of 2020.
