Corliss Kin Sio is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Toronto. His research interests lie in the fields of Geochemistry and Petrology, focusing on understanding high-temperature petrology through non-traditional stable isotopes. He is particularly fascinated by the ability to resolve minute differences in isotopic composition of mineral phases, which can provide insights into magmatic processes on Earth and other planetary bodies. Corliss received his PhD from the University of Chicago and his BSc from the University of California, Los Angeles. His initial work in isotope geochemistry involved gathering data from natural samples, leading to a realization that robust interpretations of stable isotope data depend heavily on careful experimental calibrations. His research integrates isotope geochemistry, experimental petrology, and numerical modeling, and he actively engages in projects that include Geospeedometry using Mg-Fe isotopes in olivine and the development of a spinel-olivine iron isotope oxybarometer.
