degree. In 1936 he started work in a field geologist job at the
New Zealand Geological Survey
. In 1938 he changed jobs, working for the New Zealand Petroleum Exploration Group.
When World War II broke out he first joined the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, and then later the

torpedo bomber
in
Operation Tungsten
.
He found his wife Patrica in the
Women's Royal Naval Service
. After the war they lived in London.
Brown was given a post graduate scholarship to study
Bryozoa
(or Polyzoans) from the Tertiary period in New Zealand. His jobs were at the
Imperial College of Science and Technology
and the
British Museum of Natural History
. In 1948 he graduated with a PhD and a
DIC
, and an award of the

dean of science
,
dean of students
, and he ensured the library had a good range of journals.
Brown was the president of the
Geological Society of Australia
. He was skilled at translating Russian to English and wrote a Russian to English dictionary for geoscience.
A Bryzoan species from the

was named after him,
Dakaria dabrowni
. A mollusc
Mauidrillia browni
is named after him.
He had three children and nine grandchildren. He died 3 November 2009 in Sydney.
