Biography

Professor Tim Elliott is an isotope geochemist specializing in the study of planetary formation and evolution. His research encompasses modern geological processes and meteorite cosmochemistry, focusing on high precision isotope analyses. Professor Elliott's current work includes investigating the chemical evolution of Earth and other rocky bodies, with a particular interest in the history of the solar nebula and planetary differentiation. He utilizes isotopic tools and elemental abundance measurements in his research, applying an innovative combination of plasma mass-spectrometry and collision cells to develop new diagnostic techniques. He leads several projects at the University of Bristol, including characterizing isotopic heterogeneity in the solar system and tracking early solar system history involving chondrules as part of his ongoing research initiatives. Professor Elliott's work contributes significantly to our understanding of the Earth's deep subsurface and its interactions with the surface environment through detailed geological studies and fieldwork. His academic career is marked by contributions to the development of novel isotopic systems and their applications in earth sciences.
