Caroline J. Tiddy is an Australian geologist and academic researcher, an associate professor at the University of South Australia, who has won awards in Canada and Australia[1] and published on gender diversity in geosciences.[2][3]

Education

[edit]

Tiddy received a Masters of Science, and a PhD from Monash University. Her thesis was titled "High-temperature metamorphism in poly-deformed orogens a case study of the Proterozoic Broken Hill Block, Australia".[4]

Career

[edit]

Tiddy is an associate professor in geosciences at the Future Industries Institute at the University of South Australia.[5] She is actively involved in developing innovative technologies for mineral exploration, particularly focusing on critical metals like copper.[6] Her research includes creating sensor technologies for real-time geochemical data collection in drill holes and developing geochemical targeting tools to increase mineral deposit discovery success rates.[7] These efforts are part of her work with the Mineral Exploration Cooperative Research Centre (MinEx CRC),[8] which aims to advance mineral exploration through industry-led research. In 2022, she was the professorial lead of the Future Industries Institute at Mawson Lakes.[9][10]

Tiddy was the president of the Geological Society of Australia, and is a strong advocate for gender diversity in STEM,[11]

"Along with my research into metal detection technology, I am a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion in STEM and am actively researching the enablers and barriers women face within geosciences. My aim is to help workplaces create gender equity."[12]

Tiddy is a member of WOMEESA,[13] and has published on gender diversity in Earth Sciences.[14]
