Dr Steve Hill

Biography/ Background

Steve received a BSc (Hons) degree from the University of Melbourne (graduated 1992) where his project mapped and characterised the granitic regolith and landscape evolution of Wilsons Promontory, Victoria (which is the extreme SE point of the Australian mainland).  He then completed a PhD at the Australian National University (ANU) (graduated 2002), on the research topic Regolith and Landscape Evolution of the Broken Hill Block, western New South Wales, Australia.    He began lecturing in geology at the University of Canberra in 1994, and then commenced at the University of Adelaide in 2003.  For a large part of his career he has been employed as part of the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Evolution and Mineral Exploration (CRC LEME) and its successor the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Environments and Mineral Exploration (CRC LEME), where from 2004-2007 he was its Education & Training Program Leader.

Research Interests

Broadly, Steve's research is on regolith geology and landscape evolution.

More specifically this includes research relating to:

• developing long-term landscape history including the interactions of lithology, tectonics, climate change, eustacy and biological attributes
• using plant and animal biogeochemistry to express buried substrates, such as mineralisation, and environmental setting

Some of his ongoing research includes:

• Regolith and landscape evolution of the northern Flinders Ranges and Lake Frome Plains;
• The expression of Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) within the regolith of the southeastern Gawler Craton, South Australia;
• The regolith (in particular plant biogeochemical) expression of buried gold mineralisation at Tunkillia Au-prospect, central Gawler Craton, South Australia
• The regolith and landscape evolution of the Tibooburra-Milparinka inliers, northwestern New South Wales
