Biography
Graham Shields-Zhou was born in Plymouth, England in 1970 and studied geology at Imperial College, London before moving to Switzerland for his doctoral studies at the ETH Zürich. Those studies focussed on the isotope stratigraphy of Precambrian-Cambrian boundary successions in South China and western Mongolia. Postdoctoral stints followed at the CNRS Strasbourg in France and at the University of Ottawa in Canada before he became a senior lecturer in geochemistry at James Cook University, Townsville, Australia. After a two-year Alexander von Humboldt research fellowship at the Universität Münster in Germany, Graham took up a position as reader at UCL.
Graham Shields is currently the secretary of the International Subcommission on Neoproterozoic (Cryogenian and Ediacaran) Stratigraphy and visiting professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing, China. Graham is the science coordinator for the NERC programme "Long-term coevolution of Life and the Planet" which runs from 2011 to 2015.
