Profile
Pacific Centre for Isotopic and Geochemical Research (PCIGR)
The PCIGR is an integrated analytical research centre, equipped with state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation and cleanroom laboratories. The PCIGR provides high-quality analytical services and support for university researchers, government agencies, the mineral exploration industry and the international research community. The PCIGR promotes training and multi-disciplinary research in the earth, environmental, oceanographic, atmospheric and biological sciences.
The new PCIGR-CFI analytical facility
In September 2011, PCIGR completed building a new 2200 ft2 geochemical facility at UBC. The project was funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (Leading Edge Fund) and the BC Government (Knowledge Development Fund). With in-kind contributions, PCIGR received a total investment of ~$7.5 million to expand and update its analytical capacity.
The facility currently houses 4 instruments (Nu Plasma II MC-ICP-MS, Nu AttoM HR-ICP-MS, Agilent 7700 ICP-MS & Resonetics M-50 laser system). Two additional instruments (Nu Plasma 1700, Nu TIMS) are expected in 2013.
The new laboratories will become an important testing facility and R&D (research and development) centre in collaboration with Nu Instruments Ltd. (UK) and has been named "nUBC" to commemorate the partnership.
My Role at PCIGR
As Project Manager for the PCIGR-CFI facilty, I helped coordinate the highly specialized renovations and installation of the new instruments. This involved attending weekly design and construction meetings, maintaining close communication with the builders, contractors and architects, assisting with decision-making, coordinating logistics, as well as monitoring the overall progress of the project to ensure it was implemented correctly and efficiently.
I manage the PR (public relations) for the PCIGR, from the Department level to representation at national and international conferences. I am responsible for promoting PCIGR's analytical capabilities, seeking industry collaborators and preparing funding proposals to support the facility. I am working to identify and develop new research partnerships to expand the lab's user community. I am also in charge of coordinating the interface with the Pacific Museum of the Earth and developing outreach materials and activities.
Additionally, I am the Program Coordinator for the Multidisciplinary Applied Geochemistry Network (MAGNET), a Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) program devoted to geochemistry.

Hawaiian post-shield volcanism
The goals of my M.Sc. research were to provide a greater understanding of Hawaiian post-shield volcanism, characterize the geochemical evolution of Hawaiian volcanoes from the shield to post-shield stage, and better define the geochemical structure of the Hawaiian plume. Specifically, my research investigated (a) if the observed isotopic variations can be explained by a radially zoned plume, (b) what variations must be attributed to to longitudinal rather than radial heterogeneity, (c) the relationship between small-scale heterogeneity and large-scale zoning in the plume, (d) how the isotopic compositions correspond to structure at the plume source, and (e) if any of the structure is due to entrained material higher in the mantle.
