My research interests range from economic geology and geochemistry
to metamorphic petrology and mineralogy. My projects involving silver-copper-lead
ores in the Galena Mine in Idaho's Coeur d'Alene mining district sought
to understand mineralizing conditions through a broad approach involving
analysis of fluid inclusions, stable isotopic composition, mineral composition
and petrology of ore and gangue minerals. Current projects involve characterization
of volcanogenic, copper-zinc-lead, massive sulfide deposits in Maine, and
in particular, the effect of high ore-related sulfur and oxygen contents
on the mineralogy of enclosing rocks. I manage the Electron
Microprobe Laboratory, the X-ray Diffraction
Laboratory, and the department's Network
and Computer facilities and have been active in collaborative research
with Edward Grew, Charles
Guidotti, and Dan Lux, all members of the
Department of Geological Sciences.
