Julie is a Project Geoscientist with Nubian Consulting with strengths in geophysics and basin modelling. She completed a BSc in Geophysics in 1975 at Edinburgh University (upper second). She then undertook a D.Phil in ‘Sub-surface temperatures in the Hampshire Basin’ at Oxford University which was completed in 1980. Joining BP after Oxford she worked as a Research Geophysicist heading a research group looking at temperature histories of source rocks and back-stripping techniques. In 1985 she was assigned to BP Exploration Department in Guangzhou Province, People’s Republic of China, as a Senior Geologist. She taught at the Open University between 1990 and 1994 as an Earth Sciences Tutor. Julie has worked with Nubian Consulting since 2010.
