Email Dr Frederick Lin Sutherland

Dr Lin Sutherland started his career as Geologist, Queen Victoria Museum, Launceston, Tasmania, 1958- 965, then as a Keeper in Geology and Archaeology at the Tasmanian Museum, Hobart, which included the Memorial Mining Museum, in Zeehan, from 1966-1970. After a Lecturer position in Petrology at James Cook University, Townsville, in 1971, he joined The Australian Museum in Sydney in 1973. From Curator of Mineralogy and Petrology, he progressed through the Senior Research Scientist and Principal Research Scientist ranks, until his retirement in 2001. He was awarded Senior Fellow status at the Australian Museum and an Adjunct Professorship, School of Science, University of Western Sydney until 2012. He remains a Senior Fellow at Australian Museum.

His research interests include Australasian and Asian minerals and gemstones, volcanoes along western Pacific margins, high pressure mineralogy and petrology of mantle and crustal fragments erupted in tectonic settings, mass extinction events and World Mineral collections. This led to books on Gemstones of the Southern Continents, The Volcanic Earth, Earthquakes and Volcanoes, Gemstones and Minerals of Australia’ (with Gayle Webb) and ‘Geology of Barrington Tops Plateau: Rocks, Minerals and Gemstones’ (with Ian Graham). He is a Life Member of the Mineralogical Society of NSW, and had two terms as President, Royal Society of NSW.

In research studies, he has authored and co-authored over 160 peer reviewed scientific papers that involved Australia, New Zealand, Oceania, Asia, Russia and South America. He has added considerable geological materials to the Australian Museum collections from research and curating activities around the World. He engaged in many Australian Museum exhibits, public programs, Museum Society ventures and myriads of research and visitor enquiries.
