In 1982 he demonstrated a high resolution remote field probe and explained the remote field effect using an indirect coupling path. After retiring from Shell Devopment in 1987 Tom joined Queen's University's Applied Magnetics Group, spending each Summer advising and and providing support for graduate students in their work with Remote Field Eddy Current techniques. In 1992 he developed a computer simulation program to demonstrate Remote Field Basics. With Dr. David L. Atherton Tom has co-hosted an International Conferences on the Remote Field Eddy Current Technique every three years from 1988. His paper Introduction to Remote Field Log Interpretation presented at the 4th International Conference in August 1997 may be viewed via the Internet.
