      the letters, the comments, and the biographical details are all consistent with the biography and other writings of Dr Sally Radford, for example here, https://thegstt.org/publications/article/49 … and, for example, as reported here: http://crossrhodestt.com/2018/01/20/to-free-the-future/ … and here:https://coreygilkes.wordpress.com/2017/12/21/the-ganges-is-welcome-in-the-nile-not-in-the-danube-mississipi-or-the-thames/ …

      Dr Sally Radford is a fellow of @geolsoc. I have contacted them about the comments posted on seekingalpha and about the anonymous letters. They have replied that they have no basis for proceeding to contact Dr Radford about these comments or the letters.

      Dr Radford is also a fellow of @AAPG and of the Caribbean Academy of Sciences, neither of which responded to my emails.

      please note that many of the comments "sally radford" left on seekingalpha are unbelievably racist. it is astonishing to me that organizations like @geolsoc and @AAPG apparently don't see such comments as contravening their codes of conduct.

          The current @aapg leadership does not seem to be interested in addressing racism nor equality issues - see this for recent example: https://twitter.com/blcoulthard/status/1257346580539232256?s=21 …https://twitter.com/BLCoulthard/status/1257346580539232256 …

          Dr. Bethany Coulthard @BLCoulthard
          Just so we're clear, the @AAPG president just stated: 'I can’t imagine a female geologist going out in the field in places like Argentina, South America, the Middle East, & places like that & being out there miles & miles away from everything.' 🤬 http://youtu.be/a9N7eOQh59A

          It is shocking that these societies do not take racism and misogyny seriously. Looks to me as if they are breaching the Equality Act.

          this detective work is beautiful and I commend you on doing the work. It's an (unsurprising) travesty that the organisations you've contacted refuse even to look into this person, let alone offer a code of conduct warning.

          They really must investigate. If this is identity theft of some kind she deserves to have her name cleared. If it's not, they need to distance themselves.

          right. this is exactly why I at first approached them discreetly. the comments on that site are all over the place, and if indeed this is their member, reflect *very* poorly on the societies.https://twitter.com/ODanaos/status/1262427414778589184 …

          Excellent work. A shame it fell on deaf ears reflects badly on them, any reputational damage from here on in for @geolsoc I guess not the individual perpetrator as I dont see what more you could have done
