Craig O'Neill

Craig O'Neill is an Associate Professor in Geophysics/Remote Sensing at the School of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Faculty of Science, Queensland University of Technology (QUT). His research spans geodynamics, planetary science, geophysics, and engineering geology, with a strong focus on understanding Earth and planetary evolution through computational modeling and geophysical data analysis.

His research interests include Geophysics, Geodynamics, Remote Sensing, Planetary Science, Engineering Geology, Geochemistry, and Geology. He applies advanced numerical methods to model planetary interiors, tectonic processes, and geohazards, with recent work exploring early Earth crust formation, Venusian core dynamics, exoplanet thermal evolution, and applied geophysical techniques for engineering and environmental monitoring.

The trend in his recent publications shows a strong interdisciplinary focus, combining computational geophysics with planetary science and Earth systems analysis. His work appears in leading journals such as Nature, Science Advances, and Geophysical Research Letters, covering topics from asteroid impacts and craton formation to ambient noise tomography and groundwater response to climate change.
