Drs. Dominique Weis and Jim Mortensen officially open PCIGR and dedicate the lab to Dr. Richard Lee Armstrong.

Dr. Lee was an expert in the fields of radiogenic isotope geochemistry and geochronology, geochemical evolution of the earth, geology of the North American Cordillera, and large-magnitude crustal extension. PCIGR will carry on this legacy of foundational and applied geological and geochemical research.
