DrSamuel Boone

Sam currently teaches into the second-year undergraduate Earth Surface Processes subject (GEOS2116), and third-year Intgerated Geographical and Environmental Practice (GEOG3888/ENVI3888) and Field Geology in the Digital Age (GEOS3008) subjects. He also supervises numerous postdoctoral researchers and graduate students, both within the School of Geosciences and as an external supervisor at other universities.
