Timothy Richard Elliott FRS [1] is a professor at the University of Bristol.[2][3][4]
Education
Elliot was educated at the University of Cambridge[2] and the Open University where he was awarded a PhD in 1991 for research investigating element fractionation in the petrogenesis of ocean island basalts.[5]
Career and research
Elliott specialises in developing analytical approaches to yield novel isotopic means to reconstruct planetary histories.[1] He has investigated production of melt from the Earth's interior and the chemical consequences of the return of solidified melts to depth via the plate tectonic cycle.[1] In particular, he has assessed elemental fluxes from descending plates and has highlighted how the rise of atmospheric oxygen has been remarkably recorded in the isotopic composition of the deep, solid Earth.[1] His recent focus on planetary growth has identified the rapid formation of metallic cores, how bulk chemistry is notably modified during early accretion and distinctively embellished in its terminal stages.[1]
Awards and honours
Elliot was awarded the Murchison Medal by the Geological Society of London in 2017 and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2017.[1]
