Biography

Jennifer Cuthbertson is a Professor at the University of Calgary, specializing in teaching and research in the fields of geology, particularly igneous petrology and geochemistry. She earned her Doctor of Philosophy in geology from Carleton University in 2006 and a Bachelor of Science in geology from the University of British Columbia in 2000. Her research interests encompass a wide array of topics within geoscience, including isotope geochemistry, mineral chemistry, and chemical geodynamics. Cuthbertson's work specifically focuses on the geochemical signatures and tectonic settings of ultrapotassic and potassic volcanic rocks, as well as their relation to mantle processes and mineral exploration. She employs trace element and radiogenic isotope geochemistry to investigate mantle enrichment processes associated with fluid metasomatism in subduction zone and rift settings, with particular emphasis on Cenozoic volcanic rocks in Italy. In addition to her research, she is involved in teaching various geology courses, contributing to the academic growth of her students in understanding the complexities of geology and its applications.
