Biography

Antony Burnham is an Honorary Lecturer at the Australian National University with a rich academic background in geochemistry. He completed his PhD at Imperial College London, focusing on zircon recorder oxygen fugacity in magmas, under the supervision of Andrew Berry from 2008 to 2012. Following his doctoral studies, Burnham worked at the University of Bristol from 2012 to 2014, investigating the origins of super-deep diamonds in the Juina region of Brazil. His research at the Research School of Earth Sciences (RSES) involved collaboration with Hugh O'Neill to examine trace element substitution mechanisms in various minerals and with John Mavrogenes on geochemistry and geochronology of ore-forming processes. As a geologist at Geoscience Australia, he has led multiple research projects and has supervised several research students. His current research interests encompass trace element partitioning, diamond petrogenesis, stable and radiogenic isotopes as tracers for melt fluid sources, and geochronology related to ore formation and magmatism.
