 Dr. Alan Dickin,
Professor
Email: dickin@mcmaster.ca
Areas of Interest
My research objective is to reconstruct the geological evolution of the Grenville Province of the Canadian Shield. The Grenville has been the most poorly understood province of the Shield, but Nd isotope mapping (Dickin, 2000) has now identified the major crustal terranes that make up the province. My current research involves detailed mapping of individual terrane boundaries in order to understand their geological history, and thereby reconstruct the accretionary growth of the Shield.

 Dr. W. Jack Rink ,
Professor
Email:rinkwj@mcmaster.ca
Areas of Interest
My research interests involve luminescence emission and magnetic resonance properties of minerals and biominerals, which are applied to problems in geochronology of the young earth, especially young coastal systems. I mainly use electron spin resonance dating and luminescence dating as tools in this work, but I am also involved in developing better dating methodologies to solve current problems in these areas. My newest area of interest is the use of luminescence properties of minerals to study sand transport in coastal systems, which spans the fields of coastal engineering, landscape evolution, storm recurrence frequency and shipwreck preservation issues in underwater archaeological sites.
