Academic editing

I have worked on many earth and environmental science papers written by academics from non-English speaking backgrounds. Most of this work has been to satisfy publishers' requirement that manuscripts by these authors have been edited by a native speaker of English before submission. Depending on authors' needs, I can work to either American or British spelling and other conventions.

I have edited papers for submission to journals including:

Atmospheric Environment (Elsevier)
Earth and Planetary Science Letters (Elsevier)
EOS (AGU)
Geochemical Journal (TerraPub)
Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (Elsevier)
Geophysical Research Letters (AGU)
Geophysics (SEG)
Global and Planetary Change (Elsevier)
Island Arc (Blackwell)
Journal of Arid Environments (Elsevier)
Journal of Geophysical Research (AGU)
Journal of Hydrology (Elsevier)
Journal of Sedimentary Research (SEPM)
Landscape and Urban Planning (Elsevier)
Lithos (Elsevier)
Nature — Letters (Nature Publishing Group)
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research (Elsevier)
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (Elsevier)
Science of the Total Environment (Elsevier)
Sedimentary Geology (Elsevier)
Sedimentology (Blackwell)
Tectonophysics (Elsevier)
Water Research (Elsevier)
Water Resources Research (AGU).

During the fifteen years I worked in the publication group of the
Geological Survey of Western Australia I edited manuscripts and maps prepared for publication by research geologists, many of whom hold PhDs and have gained international recognition for their work in a variety of fields including structural geology, basin studies, carbonate sedimentology, mineralization studies, hydrogeology, geochemistry and regolith studies, geochronology, palaeontology, and petrology.

As I have tertiary qualifications in geology and geophysics, while editing geoscientific work I can often address some of the issues that might otherwise arise during peer review.
