Bruce Levell
Shell Chief Scientist Geology
I look forward to the challenge of deepening current understanding of geology and, more importantly, applying it to make well informed decisions about the responsible extraction of resources.
At the age of 14 Bruce knew he wanted to be – a geologist. This fascination for geology has driven not only his career choices but also occasionally the destination of his family holiday: for example, a round trip of Iceland in 2006, a crossing the Eastern Alps in Austria in 2007, and travelling to Namibia in 2008! He has seen how modern technology has dramatically increased understanding of what is below the Earth’s surface.
