Dominique’s election to the RSC’s Academy of Science honours her research on the chemistry and isotopic signature of Earth’s mantle that has shaped our understanding of the world’s large igneous provinces, mantle plumes, and volcanic arcs.

Her work has revealed connections between terrestrial magmatism and mantle processes across many depths and scales. Dominique’s often interdisciplinary work has also pioneered the use of isotopes to trace the origin and fate of metals in the environment.

Dominique and 88 other Fellows will be inducted on Friday, November 18, 2016 at the Isabel Bader Centre in Kingston, Ontario.

Today, PCIGR received the first commercially available TIMS (thermal ionization mass spectrometer) manufactured by Nu Instruments.

Prior to installation, a team from Bird Construction, along with PCIGR staff and Nu Instruments engineers, carefully unloaded and unpacked the crates. Over the next 3 weeks, the Nu engineers and PCIGR staff will be working hard to install and test the instrument.
