- Biography
- Janet completed her B.Sc (Hons) at UWA in 1972 with a research project looking at the role of banded iron formation in the genesis of nickel sulphide mineralisation at Mt Windarra, W.A.
After four years working for industry and GSWA she returned to UWA to undertake post-graduate studies of high-grade metamorphic rocks in the Narryer Terrane of the northern Yilgarn Craton. Extensive experience of electron probe microanalysis as part of her PhD project led to a post-doctoral fellowship in the Electron Microscopy Centre (now CMCA) on completion of her post-graduate studies.
Janet returned to consulting and contracting work in the mineral exploration industry in 1991 before returning to UWA and CMCA as a Research Associate in 2005. - Key research
- Geochemistry and geochronology of accessory minerals in metamorphic rocks and extraterrestrial samples.
- Geochronology of Proterozoic orogenic belts of the West Australian Craton.
- Manganese mineralisation
- Roles, responsibilities and expertise
- Co-ordinator of CMCA Short Courses in Electron Probe Microanalysis with responsibility for the performance of X-ray microanalytical instruments in CMCA.
