   A VOLUME IN HONOUR OF THE WORK OF DAVID HEADLEY GREEN ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 18TH BIRTHDAY, 29 FEBRUARY 2008
 
Born and educated in Tasmania, where S. Warren Carey was Professor of Geology, David Green began his undergraduate study of ultramafic and related rocks in 1956 with the field mapping and petrology of an ultramafic complex in northern Tasmania. His ‘literature’ thesis was an evaluation of the status of palaeomagnetism. The ‘Continental Drift Symposium’ was also held in Hobart in 1956 and showcased both S. W. Carey's detailed reconstructions of Gondwana and Laurasia and E. Irving's use of the palaeomagnetism of Jurassic dolerites as a tool for demonstrating continental drift. These formative experiences shaped David Green's career-long interest in ultramafic and mafic rocks and their place in global tectonics. Following graduation, two years of field mapping and petrological study of ultramafic complexes in north Queensland and Papua–New Guinea were followed by PhD research under C. E. Tilley at the University of Cambridge (UK) in 1959–1962. The results of his study . . . [Full Text of this Article]
