	Current Research Interests	Development of fission track dating techniques for a variety of geological applications. Fission Track Imaging of the Australian Continent Fission track thermochronology of continental extension in Africa, Antarctica, Greece and America; the thermal evolution of sedimentary basins and their petroleum resources; fission track geochronology and morphotectonics of rifted continental margins of Gondwana 40Ar/39Ar Thermochronology of extensional tectonic environments Luminescence Dating and Quaternary environmental change Evolution of marine and fluvial Terraces around Macquarie Harbour and the Neotectonics of the West coast of Tasmania
	Biographical Notes	Andrew Gleadow completed both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at the University of Melbourne, graduating with a PhD in Geology in 1974. He subsequently held positions at the University of London, the University of Melbourne, and the University of Bern. From 1988 to 1998 he was Professor of Earth Sciences at La Trobe University, and from early 1999 has been Professor and Head of the School of Earth Sciences at The University of Melbourne. He was also a Research Coordinator of the Australian Geodynamics Cooperative Research Centre. He has researched and published extensively on all aspects of the development and application of fission track dating in geology, especially in the areas of tectonics, thermochronology, sedimentary basin analysis and hydrocarbon exploration. He has worked extensively on the geology of Antarctica, Africa, and America, as well as Australia. He was awarded the Stillwell Medal of the Geological Society of Australia for 1989, the Research Medal of the Royal Society of Victoria for 1994 and the Gold Medal for Excellence in Research by the Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering for 1996. In 1999 he was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.
