of her work into studies associated with risk and uncertainty of her associated specialty. Shipton was also the past chair of the Tectonic Studies Group of the Geological Society of London, a group based in London, UK, that researches structure and tectonics. From 2007 to 2020, Shipton was active as a member or chair in seven different external organizations, including the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the Scottish Government, the Institute of Civil Engineering, the Tectonic Studies Group of the Geological Society of London, Sense About Science, and the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Shipton has organized four special symposia: Geomechanical and Petrophysical Properties of Mudrocks: October 2015 Communicating Contested Geoscience: June 2014 Fault Zones: Structure, Geomechanics, and Fluid Flow: September 2008 Tectonic Studies Group Annual Meeting: January 2007. Zoe Shipton has a large network of projects and fellow colleagues all over the globe with substantial projects included in countries such as the United States, China, Australia, South Africa, and multiple countries across Europe. Research and publications Shipton's research focuses on the structural and permeability architecture of faults, with four main areas of focus; how faults act as high permeability conduits, low permeability faults faults that produce hydrocarbon traps and barriers to fluid flow, understanding fault processes as tangible evidence that earthquakes are relative movements across fault zones, and how to constrain uncertainty in geological models. 24 PhD students have worked across these questions and projects for their thesis as well as post-doctoral studies under Shipton. Shipton has been published in several prominent geoscience journals, including Nature Energy, Tectonophysics, and The Journal of Structural Geology. While these works explore such topics as the connection between geologic faults and earthquake prediction, or the nature and control of fractures in different rock types, she has also written about teaching methods for communicating the value of uncertainty and flexibility in the development of geoscience knowledge. Shipton also discusses subjective bias in geological data gathered about fault lines. In “How do we see fractures?”, Shipton sets out a system of protocols to ensure the accurate collection of this data as it is often used in geological and predictive models. In “Interseasonal Compressed-air Storage Using Saline Aquifers” Shipton proposes the use of porous rock basins to hold large amounts of compressed gasses to store energy in a renewable energy system.
