My current research focusses on the petrogenesis and geochemistry of evolved rocks from the Garibaldi Belt, Canada.  The Garibaldi Belt is the northern (Canadian) end of the Cascade arc, which extends along the western edge of the North American continent, and it relatively poorly studied thus far in terms of geochemistry.

Specifically I want to know; what the trace elements & radiogenic isotopic composition of these rocks can tell us about how & when the andesites and dacites were formed, and the composition of the crustal terranes they were emplaced in.
