Dr Steven Hill
To link to this page, please use the following URL: Biography/ BackgroundSteve is a Senior Lecturer in Regolith Geology. He commenced at the University of Adelaide in 2003 and has since developed teaching and research programs in the emerging field of regolith geology. His research and teaching are mostly involved with the geological understanding of landscapes and their evolution and the Earth materials (e.g. weathered rocks, sediments, soils, water, chemicals and living organisms) within them. Involvement in the Australian Government's Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) has been a large part of Steve's career. Steve is currently in the Deep Exploration Technologies Cooperative Research Centre (DET CRC), where he is leader for Project 3.3: Geochemical Sampling the Deep Cover as well as being on the DET CRC Education & Training committee. Previously 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. During his time as Education & Training Program leader in CRC LEME, Steve led one of the largest and most successful Education & Training Programs within Australia's Cooperative Research Centres. Steve was also a member of the CRC LEME Executive from 2004 to 2008. Prior to moving to Adelaide he was a Lecturer Level A and then Lecturer Level B at the University of Canberra from 1994 to 2002, where he lectured a diverse array of geology courses including sedimentology, remote sensing, structural geology, mineralogy and geochemistry from 1st to 4th year undergraduate levels. Steve received a BSc (Hons) degree from the University of Melbourne (graduated 1992). His Honours research included the mapping and characterisation 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. During his Honours year he was awarded the D.E.Thomas Medal from the Geological Society of Australia (Victoria Division) and during his PhD was awarded the Robert Hill Memorial Prize (1996) for innovative scientific research and science communication by an Australian National University post-graduate in Earth Sciences. He has since been awarded an Honorary Fellow of CRC LEME (2008) and a CRC LEME award for outstanding scientific achievements within "AMIRA Project 778: Predictive Geochemistry in Areas of Transported Overburden" (2008). In 2009 he received a citation for outstanding contributions to student learning by the Australian Learning & Teaching Council as a part of the University of Adelaide Field Geology teaching team. An overview of some of Steve's teaching and research program was published in The Australian Geologist (TAG), volume 151, pp.26-29 (http://www.gsa.org.au/pdfdocuments/publications/TAG151.pdf) QualificationsPhD (Australian National University) Thesis Title: The Regolith and Landscape Evolution of the Broken Hill Block, western New South Wales, Australia Supervisors: Tony Eggleton & Graham Taylor Graduated: 2002

Teaching InterestsSteve's teaching interests are broadly in the fields of regolith geology and landscape evolution, environmental geoscience and mineral exploration. His undergraduate teaching for 2011 includes: 1st Year Undergraduate Level Earth's Systems: this includes an introduction to many of the Earth's geological processes and key concepts. In 2011 there are over 320 enrollments in this course. 2nd Year Undergraduate level Landscape Processes & Environments II: which includes fundamentals of regolith geology and pedology, as well as a 6 day fieldtrip to the Fowlers Gap Arid Zone Research Station, western New South Wales. Steve is also the coordinator for this course, which for the past few years has had over 110 enrolments. 3rd Year Undergraduate level Environmental Geoscience Processes III:Includes advanced level aspects of regolith geology and applied geomorphology, particularly in the context of applications for environmental geoscience. Topics covered include: applications of regional landscape evolution models, earthquakes, landslides, coastal management, and mine site rehabilitation and environmental management. A teaching highlight here includes a course fieldtrip to Kangaroo Island. Honours (4th Year) Level Mineral Exploration Under Cover Field Course: as part of the Minerals Tertiary Education Council (MTEC) national geology teaching program. Steve initiated this course with Steve Hore (PIRSA) in 2008 at Arkaroola in the northern Flinders Ranges and typically has about 50 enrolments. Honours (4th Year) Student SupervisionSince 1998, Steve has supervised 41 Honours students in regolith geoscience research topics. Between 2003 and 2009, since commencing at the University of Adelaide, Steve has supervised 32 Honours students and has a further 2 ongoing in 2011.

Steve frequently presents aspects of his research and science to different public groups, such as schools and societies. Below are a few of Steve's science communication activities that can be downloaded in full or for further information "Grassroots" and "greenfields": regolith geology in teaching and research -The Australian Geologist (TAG), Volume 151, pp.26-29An article providing an overview of some of Steve's regolith geology teaching and research program http://www.gsa.org.au/pdfdocuments/publications/TAG151.pdf SCOPE - Channel 10 TV Children's Science story (2009)Featuring Steve's research on plants, ants and roo poo to assist geology http://ten.com.au/scope-episode-157--geology.htm ABC TV Catalyst story - Nature's Little Diggers (2008)See a 6 minute ABC TV Catalyst story featuring some of Steve's biogeochemical research: http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/2008/03/06/2179694.htm New Scientist article featuring some of Steve's research (2007)Article by Beth Geiger about how termites bring expressions of buried mineralisation to the land surface.
