the JDLC, a collaborative research venture hosting over $30M worth of excellent analytical and mass spectrometry infrastructure. The JDLC provides access to a range of world-class imaging techniques, including Focused Ion Beam–Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) and an atom probe. The CSIRO Mineral Resources and Petroleum Division, located adjacent to Curtin, has an Advanced Characterisation Facility supporting detailed micro-characterisation of geological samples. MoU arrangements allow CU staff access to this state-of-the-art infrastructure which includes world-class optical microscopy, automated mineralogy, XRD and microbeam XRF mapping, X-ray computer tomography microscopy and a nuclear microprobe. Grice was appointed as a senior research fellow at Curtin University in 1998 and became Professor of Organic and Isotope Geochemistry in 2007. She was awarded the J G Russell Award by the Australian Academy of Science for her research on stable carbon and hydrogen isotope signatures of chemical fossils. Grice is a member of the Australian National Committee of Earth Sciences (NCES). Her research has shown that some major biological extinction events can be traced to factors intrinsic to the Earth's systems, rather than external factors such as asteroid impacts.
