Research

Research focus on tectononstratigraphic analysis and economic potential of Proterozoic to lower Paleozoic sedimentary basins, including paleobiological, geochemical, paleoenvironmental, sedimentological, and diagenetic evolution in deep time spanning over 1 billion years of Earth history. Over 30 years of experience doing remote field research in Canada's north (NU; NWT).

Current projects in:

  • ​Geological evolution of Mesoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic, and Paleozoic basins innorthern Canada (NU, NWT)
  • Sedimentary-rock-hosted ore deposits (DRCongo; northern Canada)
  • Carbonate facies and stratigraphy
  • Carbonate and silciclastic diagenesis and alteration
  • Microbial reef geochemistry and evolution
  • Early evolution of eukaryotes
