Professor Richard Harrison is the Head of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge. His research primarily focuses on Mineral Sciences, particularly in the fields of Mineral/Rock/Environmental Magnetism, Microscopy, Tomography, and NanoPaleoMagnetism. His innovative work in paleomagnetic analysis has been pivotal in advancing the understanding of Earth's geological history. This research employs a multi-scale approach to tackle the reliability of paleomagnetic measurements, especially when applied to challenging samples such as extraterrestrial materials or older rocks that have undergone complex geological transformations. Through the NanoPaleoMag group, Professor Harrison aims to further integrate experimental and computational techniques to enhance the quantitative interpretation of magnetic remanence in altered rock samples. His dedication to expanding the potential materials for paleomagnetic studies opens new avenues of scientific inquiry, contributing significantly to the fields of Mineralogy and Environmental Magnetism.
