Overview
About
I am a geologist whose research focuses on the properties and roles of fluids in Earth's interior, especially in the formation of economic mineral deposits. I received a BSc (honors) in Earth Sciences from Memorial University (2008) and a PhD in Geosciences from Virginia Tech (2013). I was a Marie Curie postdoc at ETH Zurich from 2013-2015, then an Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona from 2015-2017, before joining the University of Alberta as an Assistant Professor in 2017.

A survey of igneous rocks from the ocean basins and the continents; their field settings, classification, petrography, mineralogy and chemistry; magmatic processes and petrogenesis; problem solving and laboratory work on major rock suites. Prerequisites: CHEM 102 or SCI 100 and EAS 232 and prerequisite or corequisite EAS 320. [Faculty of Science]
EAS 468 - Geochemical Processes
Application of geochemistry to Earth materials and geological settings. Topics vary: see www.eas.ualberta.ca/eas468 for details. May be taken more than once for credit provided no topic is repeated. Topics include: (1) Geochemistry of Ore Deposits; (2) Environmental Geochemistry (Not available to students with credit in EAS 420). Prerequisite: EAS 320 or consent of instructor.
