## Ọrụ agụmakwụkwọ
N'afọ 1929, a họpụtara Dix ka ọ bụrụ onye otu Geological Society. N'afọ 1930, a họpụtara ya ka ọ bụrụ onye nkuzi na geology na Bedford College dị na London, ebe ọ nọrọ ndụ ya niile.

Ọrụ mbụ ya, na-esote nke Truman, bụ na bivalves na-abụghị nke mmiri na South Wales Coalfield. Nke a nọgidere na-enwe mmasị n'oge ndụ ọrụ ya niile. Isi onyinye Dix bụ itinye usoro Trueman na biostratigraphy na fossils osisi.

O gosipụtara ọrụ ya na nzukọ mba ụwa gụnyere Second International Carboniferous Congress na Heerlen (Netherlands) na 1935.  N'afọ 1936, Geological Society nke London nyere ya Murchison Fund maka ọrụ ya na paleontology na stratigraphy na Coal Measures nke jikọtara ihe akaebe nke osisi na anụmanụ, si otú a melite ozi gbasara usoro Upper Carboniferous. Ozi a bara uru na ụlọ ọrụ coal yana sayensị bụ isi.

Agha Ụwa nke Abụọ bịara n'oge ọrụ ya dị elu, ma mebie ọrụ sayensị ya. Tinyere ụlọ akwụkwọ kọleji Bedford ndị ọzọ, a chụpụrụ ya na Cambridge, na-ahapụrụ mkpokọta fossils ya na mbipụta sayensị nke mechara tufuo site na bọmbụ.

Akwụkwọ ndị Dix dere n'oge agha na-elekwasị anya n'akụkụ ndị dị obere nke ọdịdị coal (dịka ọnụnọ nke nkume na coal) na a naghị ekwukarị biostratigraphy osisi. Bedford College laghachiri London na 1944 ma Dix duziri njem nke Geologists' Association na Guildford na June 1945. 

## Ndụ onwe onye
Ka ọ na-erule ngwụcha agha ahụ, Dix nwere isi mgbaka nke mere ka ọrụ sayensị ya kwụsị.

Ka ọ na-erule afọ 1946, ọnọdụ ya kara njọ nke na nwanne ya nwanyị Margaret weghaara ihe omume ya, wee kwaga Dix n'ụlọ ọgwụ ndị isi mgbaka Retreat na York, ebe ọ nwere ịwa ahụ ọhụrụ a na-akpọ prefrontal leucotomy nke na-agaghị aga nke ọma ma mebie ikike ya ịgbake.
