Welcome to my personal webpages on GitHub

My name is Thomas Wong Hearing and I am a trainee maths teacher. Prior to my career change to maths teaching, I worked for 11 years as a full-time research scientist investigating biosphere and climate change from 600 million years ago to the present-day. I maintain an ongoing interest in Earth-biosphere interactions in deep time and the modern world, and this website is primarily focused on my academic research and related outputs. I do this using a combination of geological data and climate models. Please have a look here for more about my research, and here for links to published papers. You can also find my public GitHub repositories here.

Alongside my day-job I am a founding member of the peer-reviewed academic journal Open Palaeontology where I sit as a member of the steering committee and am one of the managing editors. Open Palaeontology is a new diamond open access journal for publishing scientific research in the field of palaeontology. Diamond open access means it is free to publish in and free to read. We are currently growing the team, so please get in touch if you're interested in joining.
