Content
- Sedimentology of clastic and carbonate systems.
- Research into Proterozoic and Lower Paleozoic fluvial sandstones is concentrated on understanding how river systems worked before the onset of rooted vegetation. This includes the relationship between fluvial architecture and mineral potential.
- Research into carbonate and siliciclastic ramps and platforms has been concentrated on understanding the dynamics of sediment distribution in the lower Paleozoic of the St. Lawrence Platform, and the Hudson Platform, the Cambrian of the Franklinian and Cordilleran Margins, and the Mesoproterozoic of Northern B.C., in response to paleogeographic and environmental change.
