About
Dr. Elizabeth Turner
Professor of Earth Sciences
At LU since 2005; Research Scientist, Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office (Iqaluit; 2001-2005); Post-doctoral fellowships (Univ of Chicago; Univ of Alberta; 2000-2001); PhD (Queen's; 1999); BSc Geology (University of Toronto; 1991); BA Languages (University of Toronto; 1988); University of Toronto Schools
Research focus is on tectononstratigraphic analysis and economic potential of Proterozoic to lower Paleozoic sedimentary basins, including paleobiological, geochemical, paleoenvironmental, sedimentological, and diagenetic evolution in deep time spanning over 1 billion years of Earth history.
Current projects in:
- Geological evolution of Mesoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic, and Paleozoic basins in northern Canada (NU, NWT)
- Sedimentary-rock-hosted ore districts & deposits (DRCongo; northern Canada)
- Carbonate facies & stratigraphy
- Carbonate & siliciclastic diagenesis
- Microbial reef geochemistry & evolution
- Early evolution of eukaryotes
