I was born in Brisbane, Australia in 1947 as part of the Baby Boomer generation. A Brief career summary as a career geologist – I worked for government departments of natural resources in Queensland and Papua New Guinea, I lectured in 2003 in Earth Sciences at the University of Hong Kong, undertook field work in southern China and as an international expert in national geological surveys in Mongolia.
Achievement of management roles was due to introduction of innovative ideas to create seamless QA assured geological GIS products. These roles included Geoscience Manager Southern Region Queensland and for Mineral Resources Team leader mining and exploration tenement management, acting director for the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) and Executive manager and Chief Government Geologist in Mineral Resources Authority Papua New Guinea. I operated in all areas of geoscience, tenure and government geoscience management, and wrote more than 100 geoscientific publications.
Following deterioration of my eyesight in 2019, I refocused knowing I had something I more to give to the world. My two great passions are promoting geohistory tourism linking geological processes to landscapes and resources vital for human civilisation and also protecting the earth’s fragile ecosystem through encouraging local communities to demand government action to stop developments that cause detrimental effects to human health, the earth’s ecosystem and cultural heritage. The human challenge is to undertake activities that are sympathetic with the earths ecosystem and move forward the research of current major issues confronting humanity. Nature can still be used, conserved, and restored sustainably through reorganization across all technological, economic, and social factors to deliver optimal care for our earth’s ecosystem. A major positive 21st Century outcome globally is that more people have been lifted from abject poverty in the world than ever before in history. The current products are my effort to deliver my passion.

“…students appreciated Len’s efforts to develop this material for them and are cognisant of the importance and relevance of this work to their future careers in the earth science. Len received a higher SET (Student Evaluation of teaching) scores above the Departmental average and he is to be commended for this. I hope we will have the opportunity to work with Len in the near future”.
Humanity must become more aware of how to take care of each other before we can understand how to take care of our planet as custodians.
The global corruption levels of government and secrecy from its citizens has increased and this is endemic even in the most democratic nations. Corruption makes all decisions of government.
The 21 st Century has been dubbed the ‘information age’ with most of the known elements being extracted to support a complex knowledge-based modern civilisation.
An examination of the current processes employed by business shows significant shortfalls in addressing the environmental effects of large projects that have extensive land use and complexity. Locally the result of these actions has been major environmental and human tragedies.
Major problems of the 21st Century are air, water , land and marine pollution, probable extinction of one million species by 2030, land degradation and climatic perturbations.
The impact of disasters and disease on human and animal populations and vegetation are examples of what has been grouped under the human induced change. The bush fire season in Australia and elsewhere has been exacerbated by increasing aridity of climate and vegetation and the over allocation of water in major river systems in drought conditions.
Power generation in the 20th and 21st centuries has brought more people out of poverty, but it’s consistent clean power generation with minimum pollution and land clearing that is the key to a healthy ecosystem.
As custodians humanity needs to find better ways to undertake activities in harmony with our earth’s changes of climate, ecosystem and our needs to fulfil our role as true custodians of our wondrous home. Humans need to wake up, step up, and be heard to make our earth a sustainable liveable ecosystem for us, our animals, and everything.
