Dan Schulze is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on the study of petrology, mineralogy, and earth materials, particularly in relation to the Earth's upper mantle. His work encompasses the inaccessible nature of the Earth's interior, utilizing rare fragments of volcanic rocks such as kimberlite and alkaline basalt that provide insights into subcontinental upper mantle materials. Specific topics of interest include xenolith evidence for subduction-related origins of upper mantle materials, quantitative analyses of rock type distributions, and detailed studies on xenolith xenocryst suites. Additionally, Schulze conducts major element and stable isotope studies on diamonds and their mineral inclusions, while also examining the role of indicator minerals in the exploration and evaluation of diamondiferous and diamond-free kimberlites. His current research spans across regions in Canada, the United States, southern Africa, Russia, and Venezuela.
