Mike spent the last eight years as a lecturer in the University of Queensland. He taught groups of American students about Australian ecology, taking them to the bush, the rainforest, and the outback. A year ago he took a very big jump into the unknown and now lives in a ger 800 km south of Ulaan Baatar in Mongolia. He is mapping geology in one of the most geographically and socially remote places anywhere, and loving it. When things get a bit too cold (when his previously shoulder-length hair would freeze within two minutes) he returns to New Zealand and Australia to continue his research on the biogeography and paleoclimate of that region. Photo: Pehaps the first time the Gobi has been mapped by someone in plaster and on crutches. Foot broken by a car ploughing into it on the wild streets of Tehran. |
