Tony Prave

Professor Tony Prave is a geologist at the University of St Andrews, known for his research on ancient ecosystems and the geological history of Earth. His recent work has focused on dating a significant meteorite impact in Scotland, suggesting it occurred 990 million years ago, coinciding with the emergence of early life forms. Prave's insights into the impact's effects on the prehistoric landscape have contributed to our understanding of how natural disasters shaped early ecosystems.
