- Mark Quigley: My great friend and colleague Mark Quigley is an earth scientist and science communicator at the University of Canterbury who publishes widely on subjects including earthquake geology, structural geology, paleoseismology and climate science.
- Ron Harris: Ron is another great friend and is a structural geologist and tectonicist based at Brigham Young University in Utah. He is an acknowledged expert on the tectonics of the Banda Arc-Continent collision. He has provided me with much insight into the structural history of Timor and its place in the Banda story. Ron is also the founder and director of In Harms Way, an organisation that fosters informed hazards awareness in the Indonesian Archipelago.
- Lorna Strachan: Lorna is a turbidite sedimentologist at the University of Auckland, and travelled to Timor with me to look at megabeds in the synorogenic Viqueque Megasequence. I have also been discussing with her the tectonic history of the Waitemata Basin and the nature of the Northland Allocthon.
- Douwe Van Hinsbergen: Douwe is a tectonocist at Utrecht University, who usually constructs plate tectonic reconstructions of mountain belts. In Timor-Leste his team constructed a magnetostratigraphy for the synorogenic rocks, leading to an improved understanding of the timing of collision of Australia with the Banda Arc.
- I have collaborated with several people at GNS, particularly earthquake geologist Russ van Dissen and geomorphologist David Barrell.
- Mike Finnemore and his team at Southern Geophysical are forever helping me out. Maybe they can help you too...
