Jack Stirling

Jack Stirling is a Researcher at the School of Earth and Oceans, The University of Western Australia. He specializes in geochronology, tectonics, and continental crust formation with a focus on batholiths and accretionary orogens. His work includes studies on the Bega Batholith and Kohistan Terrane, employing U-Pb geochronology and geochemical methods to understand crustal evolution.

• Education:
• Doctoral Thesis (2022): 'Generation of granites and continental growth in eastern Australia'
• Master's Thesis (2016): 'Geochronology of Lower Crustal Cumulate Complexes in the Kohistan Terrane'
• Research Interests: Batholith dynamics, magmatic underplating, continental crust formation, and tectonic evolution of accretionary systems.

His recent work emphasizes high-precision geochronology to trace magmatic processes in island arcs and continental margins. Collaborations with institutions like Gondwana Research and Scopus highlight his global impact in Earth sciences.
