During multiple field trips as part of my postgraduate studies, I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to visit and do research on early life sites in the Pilbara of Western Australia, including the well-preserved stromatolitic outcrops of the Turee Creek Group and Duck Creek Dolomite, as well as the Tumbiana Formation, Strelley Pool Formation and the Schopf, Trendall and Buick Localities. I've also visited fossiliferous outcrops in South Africa and Japan, and whilst in New Zealand, I've hiked in to see the Cretaceous-Paleogene "K-T" boundary in Mead Stream on the South Island, as well as visited a number of active hot spring sites in Rotorua on the North Island.
