Thomas Chacko is a Professor in the Faculty of Science at the University of Alberta, specializing in metamorphic petrology and stable isotope geochemistry. His research focuses on the study of metamorphic rocks and the processes associated with high-temperature metamorphism, particularly the melting of the deep continental crust. He is interested in how small-scale processes relate to larger-scale continental crust formation and assembly. Chacko employs various techniques in his research, including fieldwork, petrographic observations, electron microprobe analysis, and stable isotope studies, often enhanced by high-pressure experimental apparatus. His fieldwork spans regions like the Taltson Magmatic Zone in northeast Alberta and the Slave Province in the Northwest Territories, as well as the southern Indian granulite terrane.
