Introducing the next member of our committee, Ananyaa Deepak, the secretary
Ananyaa is originally from India and currently in her third year of a PhD program at the University of Adelaide. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Lucknow, followed by postgraduate studies at Pondicherry University in India. Eager to expand her knowledge and gain more research experience, she enrolled in an MRes degree at Macquarie University, NSW. During this one-year program, she used shale petrography to test the Precambrian reverse weathering hypothesis using a one-billion-year record of marine shales from the Proterozoic basins of India.
Currently, Ananyaa is a member of the Tectonics and Earth Systems research group at the University of Adelaide. Her PhD work involves studying the greater McArthur Basin, with the aim of strengthening the chronostratigraphic and chemostratigraphic framework across this region, focusing on the sedimentary successions of the Birrindudu Basin in the Northern Territory, Australia.
