Canadian Research Chair in the Geochemistry of the Earth's Mantle

我的研究旨在了解我们的星球及其环境随时间的地球化学演变。它结合了野外和实验室的地球化学实验，以量化和解释元素在地球主要地质储集层内部和之间的转移，包括地球内部深处、海洋和大气。我将最先进的分析能力与对现代和古代火山以及环境中金属命运的研究相结合，以限制塑造地球的基本路径。这项工作探索了地幔热柱、污染物释放/迁移、矿产勘探和生态系统功能的基本科学理论，对于制定政府的资源开采政策和环境标准至关重要。该项目具有很高的知名度和强大的国际合作，吸引了顶尖的学生和研究人员。

My research aims to understand the geochemical evolution of our planet and its environment through time. It incorporates field and lab experiments in geochemistry to quantify and explain the transfer of elements within and between the major geological reservoirs of the Earth, including its deep interior, oceans, and atmosphere. I combine state-of-the-art analytical capabilities with studies of modern and ancient volcanoes, and of the fate of metals in the environment, to constrain the elemental pathways that shape the Earth. This work explores the fundamental scientific theory underlying mantle plumes, pollutant release/mobility, mineral exploration, and ecosystem function and is critical for the development of government policies for resource extraction and environmental standards. The program has a high profile with strong international collaborations, and attracts top caliber students and researchers.
