Much of Canada¿s wealth is derived from its mineral resources but new ore deposits are becoming harder to find. Geochemistry is at the forefront of research to develop new exploration tools, such as fingerprinting resistant minerals preserved in bedrock and surficial sediments, to vector towards mineralisation hidden at depth. This Chair program will use cutting edge techniques to analyse trace element chemistry of minerals, common in many ore deposits such as Fe-oxides and apatite, to develop innovative geochemical tools that will help us better understand how ore deposits form and to explore for hidden ore deposits.

加拿大的大部分财富来自矿产资源，但新的矿床越来越难找到。地球化学是研究开发新勘探工具的前沿，例如保留在基岩和表层沉积物中的耐指纹矿物，以引导隐藏在深处的矿化。该教席计划将使用尖端技术来分析矿物的微量元素化学，如铁氧化物和磷灰石等许多矿床中常见的微量元素化学，以开发创新的地球化学工具，帮助我们更好地了解矿床如何形成并探索隐藏的矿床。
