Academic career

edit

After a 1996 PhD titled 'High-precision U-series dating of corals from Western Australia : implication for last interglacial sea-levels' at the Australian National University, Stirling worked at University of Michigan and ETH Zürich before moving to the University of Otago in 2006,[2] rising to full professor in 2018.[1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Prof Stirling is a member of the Department of Geology with current research interests including: isotope geochemistry, biogeochemical cycles of trace metals, paleoceanography & paleoclimatology, and environmental geochemistry.

In 2024 Stirling was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society Te Apārangi.[10]
