Conall Mac Niocaill

Professor Conall Mac Niocaill is a Professor of Earth Sciences and Official Fellow at Exeter College, University of Oxford. He is actively involved in research, teaching, and laboratory leadership within the Department of Earth Sciences, with a focus on palaeomagnetism and geological evolution.

Research Interests: His work spans tectonics, Earth's magnetic field, plate reconstructions, large igneous provinces, and environmental change. He integrates field, laboratory, and analytical methods to study geological processes from sub-micron to planetary scales.

The recent publications reflect a strong focus on paleomagnetism, volcanic provinces, and ancient environmental changes, with recurring themes in geochronology, magnetic field behavior, and large-scale geological events. His research frequently involves international collaboration and fieldwork in remote locations.

Scientific Awards:

• EU Marie Curie Fellow

Advising and Grants: While specific students and grants are not listed, he leads research in the palaeomagnetism laboratory and has secured competitive fellowships such as the Marie Curie. He supervises research and teaches across undergraduate years.

Labs and Teams: He directs the palaeomagnetism laboratory in the Department of Earth Sciences, where magnetic signals in rocks are analyzed to understand Earth's magnetic history and rock evolution.
