Recent comments from ARC's assessors ...
"CI Rey is an outstanding geoscientist whose proven (published) expertise is wide-ranging: frontline modelling, geochemistry and some papers on such disparate topics as opal formation and occurrence, to challenging dynamic modelling. He is an internationally respected geoscientist and has an excellent record of high-level publications and citations. Ideas and concepts published by Rey are always worth reading as they commonly change preconceived ideas. Rey has also been very active in imaginative and effective outreach (films, videos, news articles)."
"CI Rey is highly regarded by his peers. Most of his papers are published in high profile journals such as Geology, Earth and Planetary Sciences Letters, Tectonophysics, Nature and Nature Geoscience. His work on flow in the lower crust is of the highest quality and is the definitive study on this subject."
"CI Rey is an excellent structural geologist as well as a modeller. He does not publish extensively, but always high-quality work, as illustrated by a recent Nature paper. CI Rey is an excellent science communicator who has a track record of promoting new science outcomes to the broader community."
"His papers are often thought provoking and interesting to read."
"His work on plate tectonics in particular is outstanding."
"Rey has a long track record of producing high quality publications. Rey has attracted significant media interest to his publications demonstrating the wider impact of his work."
"Rey's publication record is of high international standard. His seminal contribution to the field of tectonics is objectively impressive."
"Rey has developed quite a unique research profile in the combination of numerical modelling with field-based structural and metamorphic geology."

Treasures of the Earth, 2016. This NOVA’s three-part series is produced by Pioneer Film, Television Productions Ltd and PAAN Media Holding Co Ltd. It is to be aired on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in the United States and in more than 100 other countries. In this documentary, I joined the production team in Lightning Ridge to explain the formation of precious opal.

The Rise of Continents, 2013. In 2012, I joined a BBC crew in Coobber Pedy to contribute to the episode on Australia in a four-part series BBC’s documentary presented by Iain Stewart. My contribution was to explain the formation of precious opal, and its relationship with the flooding of central Australia 110 million years ago.
