Biography

Chris received his PhD from Memorial University of Newfoundland where he developed laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) methodologies for a range of accessory minerals and their applications in granitic magmatism. His ongoing research focuses on using accessory minerals to provide valuable geological constraints in U-Pb geochronology and various isotopic systematics, including Samarium-Neodymium, Lutetium-Hafnium, and Rubidium-Strontium trace element contents. He has applied these techniques to understand the origins and evolution of the oldest Archean complexes in southern West Greenland, including the Acasta Gneiss complex and Eoarchean rocks in northeast Labrador. Currently, he collaborates on the Yilgarn 2020 initiative with a focus on crustal evolution in the Yilgarn Craton, utilizing minerals such as zircon and apatite as indicators of fertility. His research expertise includes Geochronology, Radiogenic Isotopes, and Accessory Minerals.
