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.
