Andrew C Rozefelds

PeerJ Author & Reviewer

Summary

He has written over 100 peer reviewed and popular articles. His current research interests involve studying the origins, evolution and history of the modern Australian flora. Andrew has used various experimental techniques to study living and fossil plant material, including synchrotron imaging at the Australian Synchrotron. He has also published papers on fossil vertebrates and invertebrates, modern plant systematics and weed sciences, biographical research and other areas. He has described over 14 new species of living plants and a similar number of fossil plants. In 2016 he received a Queensland Smithsonian Fellowship which enabled him to spend three months at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington DC to work on papers on the fossil floras of Northern Australia. In 2022 while on a Churchill Fellowship he visited colleagues in UK, USA, Argentina and Germany. His current research is looking at the role of volcanicity in shaping the history and evolution of the modern Australian flora.

Geosciences
The Queensland Museum has one of the largest collections of fossils, minerals and rocks in the Southern Hemisphere. The Geosciences staff and volunteers help with the collective management and curation of this collection and we provide access to visiting researchers and undertake research on the fossil record in Australia. The Queensland Museum is also one of the most decentralised museums in Australia with branches in Brisbane (Queensland Museum and Science Centre), Toowoomba, Townsville and Ipswich and the geoscience collections are at the Hendra off site facility.
