Former Associate Professor of Geology, the University of Auckland,
BSc, PhD, DSc, University of London.
Retired, living in Nelson
Member of The Nelson Science society
Member of The forest & Bird Society
Executive founding member & President of ASPO NZ Inc
Peter Ballance is a retired geologist. He taught sedimentary geology and paleontology at Auckland University for 40 years, before retiring to Nelson. His background thus includes the geology of hydrocarbons. He holds PhD and DSc degrees from London University, and has around 100 scientific publications and editorships.
Since retiring Peter has put most of his time and effort (apart from the three G’s — geology, garden and grandchildren) into the environment and peak oil. He currently chairs the Nelson-Tasman Branch of The Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society Inc., as well as presiding over ASPO—NZ and being Secretary/Treasurer of the Nelson Science Society. Music figures prominently in his life, too.
The world we are bequeathing to our grandchildren is going to be a difficult one. The onus is on our generation to mitigate as far as possible the worst effects of the profligate oil culture of the past half century.
