Adjunct Faculty
AREAS OF INTEREST
Cordilleran tectonics, Bedrock mapping
Dr. Maurice Colpron is Head of Bedrock Geology at the Yukon Geological Survey. He has been mapping the geology of the Canadian Cordillera for more than 28 years, with over 20 years in Yukon. He is the lead compiler of the Yukon Bedrock Geology map and has published extensively on the tectonics and metallogeny of the North American Cordillera and the Arctic.

LAURENT GODIN
Adjunct Faculty
AREAS OF INTEREST
Structural geology, Continental tectonics
The Queen's Tectonics Research Laboratory conducts research aimed at understanding the dynamic processes operating in mountain belts, with a focus on the structural and thermal evolution of the continental crust. Specifically, our goal is a comprehensive understanding of the 3D evolution of orogenic systems including the influence of pre-collisional structural heterogeneities and the influence of reactivated faults on regional seismicity. To reach its goals, the QTRL group utilizes multi-faceted approaches such structural geology, geochronology, metamorphic petrology, geophysics, and analogue and numerical modelling.

AREAS OF INTEREST
Multidisciplinary geophysics, Tectonic Structure and Evolution of Orogenic Belts, Continental Basins and Ocean Margins.
Nathan Hayward is a Research Scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada, Pacific-Vancouver. His multidisciplinary research focuses on the application of geophysical modeling and inversion, integrated with broad geological constraints, to the investigation of tectonics and crustal structure. Primarily, his research explores the structure and development of orogenic belts, including the Northern Canadian Cordillera and Great Bear magmatic zone, continental basins and ocean margins, tectonic impacts on landscape evolution, and the geothermal potential of plutonic rocks.
