Academic career

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]
