Biography

Robert Creaser specializes in radiogenic isotope geochemistry utilizing Re-Os, Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, and Pb-Pb isotope systems to explore a wide array of geochemical phenomena. His primary research interests include the geochemistry and the origin and evolution of Earth's crust, approached through various isotope systems. Currently, his research emphasizes the use of Re-Os isotopes for geochronology, particularly in organic-rich sediments like black shales, and investigating fluid flow within sedimentary basins. Throughout his career, he has received numerous accolades including the Canada Research Chair Tier in Isotope Geochemistry, recognition as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and the McCalla Professorship at the University of Alberta. Robert is also known for his contributions in teaching, notably leading field school excursions that provide students with hands-on geological experience in Alberta's diverse landscapes.
