LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS

Charles R. M. Butt, BA (geology and chemistry), University of Keele, DIC, PhD (applied
geochemistry), Imperial College, London, joined the CSIRO in Perth, Western Australia, in
1971 to initiate research in exploration procedures for deeply-weathered terrain, and
worked with gas geochemistry between 1979 and 1985. He then returned his attention to
regolith geochemistry, co-editing Volume 4 of the Handbook of Exploration Geochemistry
on this subject, which was published in 1992. He is a Chief Research Scientist in the
Division of Exploration and Mining of CSIRO and Programme Leader in the Cooperative
Research Centre for Landscape Evolution and Mineral Exploration. He was an Associate
Editor of the Journal of Geochemical Exploration from 1976 to 1999.

Graham R. Carr, BSc, University of New South Wales, PhD, University of Wollongong.
Following his early studies on the genesis of sediment-hosted massive sulphide deposits, he
joined CSIRO in 1979 to research the applications of mercury geochemistry in mineral
exploration. In 1983 he joined the lead isotope group of CSIRO and is currently a Principal
Research Scientist in its Division of Exploration and Mining, actively involved in
researching and applying isotopic exploration techniques.

Willy Dyck, MSc, University of Saskatchewan. During his career with the Geological
Survey of Canada, he carried out intensive research into the geochemistry and geology of
uranium deposits and their detection using soil gases, radon and helium. A chemist and
engineer by training, he was especially adept at devising instrumentation to sample gases,
groundwaters, lake-bottom sediments and waters. Now retired to a farm where he brews
beer and produces a miscellany of fruit wines, "Radon" Dyck continues to retain his old
interests.

Fei Qi is a graduate in petroleum geology, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan.
Following a period in the geological exploration team in Hebei Province, she joined
Wuhan College of Geology where she was engaged in education and research in petroleum
exploration. She was appointed Vice-President of the Department of Petroleum Geology in
1986. Since 1992, she has been a senior director of the Institute of Petroleum Geology in
the China University of Geosciences, Wuhan. She is an active member of the American
Association of Petroleum Geologists.
