Summary

Graham Pope Price is a geologist with a special interest in rock and soil fabrics and rock deformation.

During his time at CSIRO he made a significant contribution to the Australian petroleum industry when studied the fabrics of the carbonate sediment of the North West Shelf of Australia with Woodside Petroleum Limited. This surveying along with the Calcite In situ Precipitation System he developed for synthetic cementation of porous soil made possible the establishment of the North Rankin A Gas Platform.
