New publication!

All of us at CC would like to congratulate our ex-TA Jack Turney for completing his PhD on petroleum systems and taking up a post in the US at Colombia University (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory). Jack’s field area for his research has been in the vicinity of Wytch Farm oilfield, on which he has recently published an overview in MPG (see image). Of particular interest is his developing an understanding of magnetic mineral growth during diagenesis on palaeo oil-water contacts; these record field infilling and tilting events due to tectonics.

Good luck from all of us Jack, with the next chapter in your research!
