Grice, Kliti

Summary

Kliti Grice is an internationally renowned organic geochemist and world-leading authority on molecular fossil and stable isotope geochemistry. Her research has greatly enhanced the understanding of Earth's early life, microbial ecosystems of the past, aspects of plant and algal physiology and food webs, and knowledge of the causes of large mass extinctions. She has developed and applied analytical biomarkers and compound-specific isotopes, and established the role of microbial activity in exceptional preservation of fossils. In 2014 Grice was appointed John Curtin Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Curtin University.
