Biography
Anthony Dosseto is a Professor and former ARC Future Fellow in the School of Earth, Atmospheric & Life Sciences at UoW. He is also the founder of the Wollongong Isotope Geochronology Laboratory (WIGL). Prof. Dosseto applies chemistry, in particular metal isotopes, to a wide range of fields: geology, environmental sciences, archaeology, palaeontology, ecology and biomedical sciences. Current projects include:
- investigating changes in ocean chemistry 100’s of million years ago and the emergence of complex life
- reconstruct past Australian ecosystems and how extinct megafauna participated in these ecosystems
- deciphering the links between fire regimes and climate change
- assessing the effects of cultural burning on soil and ecosystem health
- developing new tools to diagnose diseases, inform on disease progression and improve patient outcome
