Biography

Nick Schofield is a Professor of Igneous and Petroleum Geology. He specializes in the seismic and field interpretation of intrusive and extrusive sequences in volcanic terranes and their interaction with hydrocarbon systems. 

He is a multi-award winning scientist at the forefront of aiding industry in understanding challenging volcanic geology in the subsurface globally. External roles include sitting on the UK-IODP program advisory group (PAG).

Nick is presently on 80% secondment via the 51cg to Pulsar Helium () where he is acting as Chief Geologist.
