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

我的研究旨在了解地球及其环境的地球化学演变。它结合了地球化学的实地和实验室实验，以量化和解释地球主要地质储层内部和之间的元素转移，包括其深层内部，海洋和大气。我将最先进的分析能力与现代和古代火山的研究以及环境中金属的命运相结合，以限制塑造地球的元素路径。这项工作探讨了地幔柱、污染物释放/流动、矿产勘探和生态系统功能的基础科学理论，对制定资源开采和环境标准的政府政策至关重要。该项目知名度高，国际合作密切，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.
