I am a regional geologist with expertise in the geological and tectonic development of the Canadian Shield and Newfoundland Appalachians. My work involves preparing bedrock geological maps, atlases, and conducting research on the petrology, geochemistry, metallogeny, and tectonic development of Precambrian and Paleozoic terrains. More recently, I have become involved in a multi-disciplinary investigation into the origins and evolution of early life in the Precambrian.
