President
Carolyn Furlong

I am in my 1st year of my PhD working with John-Paul Zonneveld. My research focuses on the stratigraphic architecture. depositional systems and resource distribution of the Triassic Montney Formation of British Columbia and Alberta.

Vice-President
Janina Czas

I am a PhD student working on mantle xenoliths, some of which are diamond bearing, from the Fort à la Corne Kimberlite Field in Saskatchewan. My research focuses on understanding the formation and evolution of the lithospheric mantle beneath the Sask Craton.

Secretary/Treasurer
Rebecca Stone

I am a 3rd year Masters student doing a thesis in experimental petrology with Dr. Robert Luth. More specifically I am studying the dissolution of orthopyroxene in possible proto-kimberlitic melts.

Jesse Reimink

I am a PhD student working with Tom Chacko on unraveling the petrogenesis of a group of 4.0-3.6 Ga gneisses (Acasta Gneiss Complex) in the Northwest Territories widely regarded as the oldest rocks in the world.

Joseph Magnall

I am a PhD student, working with Dr Sarah Gleeson on a project that aims to constrain the geochemistry of hydrothermal fluids responsible for sediment hosted base-metal mineralization in the Yukon (Selwyn Basin).

Social Convenor
Laurence Pryer

I am in the second year of a PhD program with Dr Sarah Gleeson, focusing on the paragenesis of a silver- zinc- lead deposit in the Central Yukon.

Pedro Waterton

I am a PhD student working with Dr. Graham Pearson on komatiites (old, hot lavas). My work aims to understand how these rocks formed, and whether they vary through time in the rock record, by investigating the geochemistry of komatiites from the Canadian North.

Outreach & Volunteer Coordiantor
Danielle Simkus

I am a second-year PhD student specializing in the organic geochemistry of meteorites. Working with Dr. Christopher Herd, I am investigating the synthesis of prebiotic organic compounds within the Tagish Lake carbonaceous chondrite.

GSA Representative
Laura Brin

I am doing my MSc in Geology studying mantle xenoliths from Northern Canada with Graham Pearson and have been a member of the ATLAS exec for three years.
I am currently finishing up a Master’s of Arts with Dr. Tara McGee.

GSA Representative (Alternate)
Shelby Saunders

I am a MSc. student under Dr. John-Paul Zonneveld. My research focuses on the sedimentological and paleontological aspects of bioclastic horizons in the Early Triassic Montney Formation in north-eastern British Columbia.

Department Council Representative
Shawna White

I’m currently a PhD student, studying structural geology with Dr. John Waldron. I’ve been involved with ATLAS in many different capacities over the past few years, during both my Masters and PhD programs.

Currently, my field work is focused in western Newfoundland, studying Appalachian geology. My thesis incorporates regional mapping, offshore seismic, and detrital zircon geochronology to create a coherent deformation history of the Canadian Appalachians structural front.

Webmaster
Hector A. Martinez De La Torre

I'm a first year MSc and I'm currently working with mega-faunal bones from the Late Pleistocene to determine migratory behavior with Alberto Reyes and Duane Froese.  A former lab tech from the Keck-CCAMS, I use radiocarbon as well as stable isotopes to conduct my research.

Undergraduate 
(PS Warren) Liaison
Eric Timmer

My thesis involves describing the sedimentology and ichnology of previously un-logged McMurray Formation outcrops along the Athabasca River north of Fort MacKay.

Calendar Coordinator
David Dockman

I am doing a MSc. in geochemistry, with Dr. Graham Pearson, on the High Arctic Large Igneous Province, a formidable volume of volcanic rocks spans the Canadian Arctic Archipelago as well as northern Greenland and Svalbard. My goal is to use the trace element geochemistry of these northern basaltic dykes to ascertain the depth to the base of the lithosphere during the cretaceous rifting event that opened the Arctic Ocean.

Geology
Lauren Eggleston

I am doing a MSc. in structural geology and tectonics. My research focuses on the geologic history of the Sackville and Eastern Moncton subbasins in New Brunswick, a part of the Maritimes Basin of Atlantic Canada with high hydrocarbon potential.

Glacial & Quaternary
Joel Pumple

I’m a Masters student in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences with Duane Froese as a supervisor. My project is on the geological setting of permafrost along the Alaska Highway, Yukon. The interaction of northern infrastructure with permafrost and the present stability of permafrost have been, and continue to be, concerns of most northern communities. I hope my results will help the Yukon Highway Public Works and local communities better understand the permafrost in their region and allow them to mitigate future changes in their permafrost landscape.

Remote Sensing & GIS
Alec Casey

I am a PhD Candidate studying remote sensing of the cryosphere. My research is focused on evaluating recent advances in active microwave remote sensing for operational sea ice monitoring. In particular I am interested in the retrieval of sea ice type and thickness information from synthetic aperture radar satellites.

Atmospheric  & Ocean Sciences
Laura Gillard

I am in my second year of my MSc in oceanographic modelling with Dr. Paul Myers. My project focuses on the oceanic circulation and marine terminating glaciers of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
