In Search of Diamond....

Dr Gurney's current focus is to better understand the processes by which natural diamonds form and to apply this knowledge to exploration for undiscovered primary diamond deposits. This is done by negotiating access to key research samples and designing projects for a team of researchers. This new information is interpreted and added to a comprehensive database that contains relevant information dating back to the 1960's.
At present the KRG consists of four researchers who are staff members, two post-doctoral appointments and ten post-graduate thesis students, three of whom are part-time. The group is cosmopolitan, drawing people from four continents and seven countries. Research projects are funded by means of annual grants from the National Research Foundation, the Department of Trade and Industry and from industry.
