Timothy Richard Elliott FRS^[1] is a professor at the University of Bristol.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Education

Timothy Elliot was educated at the University of Cambridge^[2] and the Open University where he was awarded a PhD in 1991 for research investigating element fractionation in the petrogenesis of ocean island basalts.^[5]

Career and research

Elliott specialises in developing analytical approaches to yield novel isotopic means to reconstruct planetary histories.^[1] He has investigated production of melt from the Earth's interior and the chemical consequences of the return of solidified melts to depth via the plate tectonic cycle.^[1] In particular, he has assessed elemental fluxes from descending plates and has highlighted how the rise of atmospheric oxygen has been remarkably recorded in the isotopic composition of the deep, solid Earth.^[1] His recent focus on planetary growth has identified the rapid formation of metallic cores, how bulk chemistry is notably modified during early accretion and distinctively embellished in its terminal stages.^[1]

Awards and honours

Elliot was awarded the Murchison Medal by the Geological Society of London in 2017 and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2017.^[1]
