Professor Peter Treloar

About

Having retired from Kingston University in 2015 I now hold a position as Emeritus Professor in the Department of Geography, Geology and the Environment. Prior to my retirement I was the Professor of Mineralogy and Petrology at Kingston University. During 25 years at Kingston I have been Course Director for Geology and Course Director for Gemmology and Applied Mineralogy. As a mineralogist I managed the Electron Microscope Unit for many years for the Science (subsequently SEC) Faculty in the University. I have supervised some 20 PhD students and have published 100 papers in the peer reviewed literature. I have served on Council of the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland for over 15 years including two spells as Vice President. I am currently the Publications Manager for the Society. I currently mentor young academic staff and support former PhD students in publishing their research.
