Craig Walton – geoscientist
4th year PhD student based in the Department of Earth Sciences, at the University of Cambridge (supervised by Dr Oliver Shorttle).
I am currently focussed on the following research projects:
- Building phosphate mineral texture-age records of collisional evolution in the inner Solar System
- Exploring the interactions between geo- and prebiotic chemistry
- Modelling the long-term evolution of the global phosphorus cycle
My interests span cosmochemistry, the origins of life, and global biogeochemical evolution. I am always up to chat science, and welcome email correspondence if you have an idea or any questions about my work and research topics. I can be reached at crw59@cam.ac.uk.
