He obtained his Ph D at the University of Bristol in 1975, and has been at the University of Leeds since 1985. He held a Harkness Fellowship at the University of Washington, Seattle, and has recently been a Humboldt Awardee at the Deutsches Geo Forschung Zentrum, Potsdam. Craig Manning is a Professor of Geology and Geochemistry in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of California Los Angeles. He received BA degrees in Geology and in Geography from the University of Vermont, and MS and Ph D degrees in Geology from Stanford University. His research focuses on experimental and theoretical study of geologic fluids at high pressure and temperature. Grant Garven is a Professor in the Department of Geology and in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Tufts University, near Boston. Originally trained as a field geologist in the Canadian Shield, his career has mostly focused on mega-scale groundwater flow in sedimentary basins and related geologic processes. He received his BSc in Geology at the University of Regina, MS in Hydrology at the University of Arizona, and Ph D degree at the University of British Columbia.
