I am part of the research team in PCIGR, and am involved in several aspects of the group. I am primarily in charge of the argon-argon geochronology laboratory, and carry out all aspects of sample preparation, analysis, and interpretation. I am also involved in analysis and interpretation of lead isotopes in sulphides, for mineral deposit-related studies and isotopic tracer studies.
I am the Laboratory Coordinator for the Stable Isotope laboratory. I run the Delta Plus XL mass spectrometer, used for analysis of light stable isotopes in minerals, waters and gases (C, O, H).
