Jonathon Leonard (PhD)

Throughout the deep past, Australia has had carbonate systems pop up along its southern and north-west margins- as well as the north-east margin which houses the Great Barrier Reef. How these carbonate systems appear and disappear is unclear. My PhD research involves using numerical modelling to better understand Australia’s ancient carbonate systems. I am working under the guidance of Dr Sabin Zahirovic as well as secondary supervision from Tristan Salles and Claire Mallard.
