Areas of interest

“Structural geology, geochemistry, and tectonic history of serpentinites in the Bridge River and Cache Creek terranes, southwestern British Columbia"
Serpentinite (hydrated ultramafics) rocks occur in the areas around East Harrison Lake, Hope, and Lillooet, British Columbia. These serpentine belts hold potential to sequester carbon dioxide into magnesium carbonate minerals, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This project will provide the geologic background for ongoing and future carbon sequestration studies, with a focus on the structural geology, geochemistry, and tectonic history of the serpentinites and surrounding rocks.
