Dr. ROSALIE CONSTABLE
Founder and Principal
Following a childhood growing up in country Victoria, Australia, and having already developed a love of animals and the natural world, I first studied geology at University. I immediately loved that geology brings together all aspects of science to understand the earth as a fully interconnected system:
"Geoscience is the foundation of everything we can imagine".
- Dr Kehinde (FutureGeo Forum, 2020)
Throughout my studies and career, I have always sought to understand the details by understanding the big picture and context; seeking the "NULFs" - nasty, ugly, little facts (Dolson, 2016) - that can break a paradigm; and always integrating all available data and information.
In addition to a passion for problem solving, geoscience and the environment, I have a keen interest in energy and the energy transition. My technical skills and expertise can be directly applied to help address these critical challenges facing us today, particularly in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Geothermal energy.

TESTIMONIAL
"I had the privilege of working closely with Rosalie over a period of 8 years, initially based in New Zealand and subsequently based in Austria. Rosalie is a talented, experienced and highly motivated geoscientist who takes pride in all aspects of her work.
We worked closely on regional exploration projects for several years, and I cannot speak highly enough of her collaborative, resourceful and supportive nature. Rosalie can be relied on to do highly accurate detailed work when needed, but is equally capable of providing “big picture” perspective. She is a pleasure to work beside, and is a valuable team player.
I later had the privilege of being Rosalie’s line manager during a period of high activity for our company. Rosalie was a team leader at that time, and proved herself to be a highly organised project manager who never failed to deliver quality according to timelines, scope, budget and deliverables. Her strength as a project manager comes from her ability to combine her highly organised nature with her specialist geological skills and strong background in sedimentology, geochemistry, geophysics, structural geology, seismic interpretation and play fairway analysis.
I have no hesitation in recommending Rosalie, and will welcome any questions from prospective employers."
