Biography

Maree Corkeron is currently an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia. Her research focuses on Precambrian Earth systems, particularly global climatic events during the Cryogenian and Ediacaran periods and their impacts on the evolution of life. She investigates the contribution of microbial communities to the Precambrian carbonate reef framework, with an emphasis on stromatolite morphology, architectural roles in ancient reef geomorphology, and the geochemistry of stromatolites. Maree leads projects on Cryogenian reefs in the northern Flinders Range in South Australia and Neoproterozoic deposits in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Additionally, she has a keen interest in medical geology, exploring the relationships between geological host environments and diseases such as Melioidosis and Ross River Virus. With years of academic and industry experience, Maree has worked on projects related to Queensland's Palaeozoic and Mesozoic basins involving coal, seam gas, underground coal gasification, and carbon sequestration.
