THE AUTHOR Andrew has a BSc (Hons.) in geology from the University of NSW and a PhD in geology from theUniversity of Sydney, both in Sydney, Australia. He worked for six years in the mineral exploration and mining industry in Australia. Since late 1983 he has worked full- time in creation ministry, with the Creation Science Foundation in Australia (15 years), then the Institute for Creation Research (9 years), and since mid-2007 as Director of Research for Answers in Genesis. He has authored numerous research papers and served as a technical editor of research journals and books. Snelling ◀ Radiohalos as an exploration pathfinder ▶ 2018 ICC 580
