was engaged in all aspects of surficial geochemistry applied to mineral exploration and to
environmental contamination studies. He then transferred to the Mineral Deposits Sub-
Division to work on sediment-hosted base-metal sulphide deposits. His current diversions
lie with the study of volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits in ancient terranes and the
modem seafloor of the Pacific Ocean, where he engages in "submersible" mapping.

Victor T. Jones, III, BSc (physics), University of Southwestern Louisiana, MS, PhD
(physics) Texas A&M University. Upon completion of a two-year National Research
Council of Canada Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Chemistry Department of the University
of Western Ontario (1969-71), he initiated a career in the petroleum and minerals
exploration industry as a physicist at the research laboratory of Superior Oil Company. His
subsequent research activities in pathfinder techniques were extended to include
hydrocarbons at the Pittsburgh laboratory of the Gulf Research and Development
Company, initially as a research geochemist and ultimately as the Director of the Physical
Geochemistry and Minerals section. Following 12 years of experience at major oil
company laboratories, he became the manager of the Exploration Geochemistry Division at
Woodward Clyde Oceaneering, before founding Exploration Technologies, Inc. (ETI) in
1984. As President and CEO of ETI, he has continued to be actively involved in the
research and development of surface geochemical techniques for both exploration and
environmental applications.

John X Lovell has a BSc in geology from Southampton University and a PhD in applied
geochemistry from Imperial College, London. He worked as a mineral exploration
geologist in west Africa and Australia prior to carrying out his PhD research on vapour
geochemistry in mineral exploration, for which he conducted field tests in Chile, Saudi
Arabia, South Africa, Namibia, the USA, Spain, Ireland and the UK. He joined Barringer
Geoservices, Colorado, in 1979 and has been involved in mineral and petroleum
exploration programmes throughout the world.

Martin D. Matthews, BS, Allegheny College, MS, West Virginia University, PhD
(geology) Northwestern University. After being an Assistant Professor of Geology at
Washington State University, he joined Gulf Research and Development Company, where
he progressed to Director of Geological Research, Manager of Geochemical Research and
was a Senior Staff Geologist for Gulf Oil US. He joined Texaco's Exploration and
Production Technology Department as a Senior Scientist and is currently a Consulting
Explorationist in Texaco's Central Exploration Department. He is also an adjunct professor
in the Department of Computational and Applied Mathematics at Rice University and a
member of the Earth Science Advisory Board at the Savannah River Laboratory. He has
worked in surface and subsurface geochemistry, remote sensing, diagenesis, fractures, fluid
flow, basin modelling, depositional systems and global cyclostratigraphy.
