Richard John Arculus (born 20 January 1949) is an Australian petrologist and volcanologist. He is Emeritus Professor of the School of Earth Sciences at the Australian National University.[1]
His research interests and areas of expertise include inorganic geochemistry, igneous petrology, metamorphic petrology, volcanology, and chemical oceanography.[2]
Early life and education
Arculus was born in Calcutta, India.[3] He graduated with a first-class degree in Geology from Durham University in 1970.[4] He then earned a PhD from the same institution in 1973.[4]
Career
Arculus was a post-doctoral fellow of the Carnegie Institution for Science from 1973 to 1975.[5] He was an assistant professor at Rice University in Houston, Texas from 1975 to 1976, and then spent six years as a research fellow at the Australian National University (ANU), before moving to the University of Michigan as assistant and later associate professor.[3] He returned to Australia to work at the University of New England in 1989, where he was professor and head of the department of geology and geophysics.[5]
Arculus joined ANU as a full professor in 1994.[3] He successfully campaigned for Australia to join the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program and subsequently participated in a number of research voyages on board the Franklin and Southern Surveyor.[5] From October to December 2009, he was a fellow of the Institute of Advanced Study at Durham University.[5]
In 2017 he argued that volcanic eruptions could take place in Melbourne or Auckland and suggested that volcanic eruptions may have contributed to the outbreak of war in ancient Egypt.[6]
