AUSTRALIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCE WORKSHOP 2008

Enhancing the quality of the experience of postdocs and early career researchers
The Shine Dome, Canberra, 14–15 February 2008

Session 1: Everyone needs mentoring and new skills!
Chair: Professor Kurt Lambeck PresAA, FRS

Kurt Lambeck is a distinguished Professor of Geophysics at the Australian National University and President of the Australian Academy of Science. His research interests cover the disciplines of geoscience, including geophysics, geodesy, geology, climate and environmental science, and space science. Kurt’s recent work has focused on aspects of sea level change and the history of the Earth’s ice sheets during past glacial cycles, including field and laboratory work and numerical modelling. Past research areas have included determination of the Earth’s gravity field from satellite tracking data, examination of tidal deformations and the rotational motion of the Earth, the evolution of the Earth–Moon orbital system, and lithospheric and crustal deformation processes.
