Penny Barton has been Graduate Tutor at Homerton since 2002. Her role at Homerton is to manage and facilitate the rapid expansion of our diverse Higher Degree student body, created from small beginnings in 2001, as well as to act as Tutor for the Higher Degree students, and Director of Studies for first year Physical Sciences undergraduates. She is also a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Earth Sciences, specialising in seismic imaging of the interior of the Earth's crust and lithosphere; her most recent fieldwork was offshore Sumatra, the site of the huge earthquake which initiated the devastating 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, and off the Mexican coast investigating the deep structure of the Chicxulub meteorite impact crater implicated in the extinction of the dinosaurs. |
