Biography
Nick Schofield is a Professor of Igneous and Petroleum Geology. He specializes in the seismic and field interpretation of intrusive and extrusive sequences in volcanic terranes and their interaction with hydrocarbon systems.
He is a multi-award winning scientist at the forefront of aiding industry in understanding challenging volcanic geology in the subsurface globally.
External roles include sitting on the IODP (Integrated Ocean Drilling Program) Science Evaluation Panel (SEP) and the UK-IODP program advisory group (PAG)
Nick is the current Director of the world-renowned Integrated Petroleum Geoscience MSc in the School of Geosciences
