Dr. Rosalie Constable

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 subsequent 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.

Please contact me to discuss how I can help you deliver your project.

TESTIMONIAL
[Rosalie] has an open mind to new concepts and seeks to do the necessary 'data mining' to uncover data anomalies that reveal opportunities and plays others have missed. One of the things that sets her apart from many others is the ability to screen plays regionally and then focus on the best areas with a full grasp of details which make new play development work...I've been in this business 40 years, across multiple plays and basins and with thousands of talented geoscientists. She is one of the best. 

"Rosalie is one of the best sub-surface interpreters I have worked with over the last 40 years. She can multi-task across teams and disciplines and while at Delonex, managed a diverse group of engineers, geophysicists and geologists in projects in Chad, Ethiopia, Gabon, and India, in a challenging technical advisory role. Her leadership in championing integrated understandings of exploration potential involving acquisition of new data in Fluid Inclusion Stratigraphy, Chemo-Strat, geochemistry and 2 and 3D seismic to uncover many exciting new opportunities. She has an open mind to new concepts and seeks to do the necessary 'data mining' to uncover data anomalies that reveal opportunities and plays others have missed. One of the things that sets her apart from many others is the ability to screen plays regionally and then focus on the best areas with a full grasp of details which make new play development work. I'd highly recommend Rosalie to anyone looking to reduce risk, manage exploration and development portfolios properly and build a successful exploration and development program. I've been in this business 40 years, across multiple plays and basins and with thousands of talented geoscientists. She is one of the best."
