I am a structural geologist based in the UK. I did a Masters on the Fracture Mechanics of quartz and a PhD on the formation of shear zones. I continued doing research, particularly on the Devonian basins of Norway and Scotland, until my funding ran out. I started doing consulting work while waiting for that elusive permanent university post to come along. 34 years later I'm still consulting, although it's probably more accurate to say that I'm semi-retired. I've worked mainly on nuclear waste disposal problems and for the oil industry, so no environmental issues at all.
I started contributing to Wikipedia in July 2006, concentrating on adding content to structural geology, although more recently I've also worked on earthquake articles and other general geology/geophysics pages.
