Last week, researchers from the Pacific Centre for Isotopic and Geochemical Research (PCIGR) showcased their work at the Goldschmidt Conference, the premiere international meeting on geochemistry.

This year’s conference featured a special session in honor of Dr. Dominique Weis (Director of PCIGR, Professor at UBC EOAS) and Dr. Catherine Chauvel (Research Director of the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris) in recognition of their groundbreaking contributions to mantle geochemistry.

Dr. Weis was also interviewed by the European Association of Geochemistry during the event, where she reflected on receiving this honor and her insights on the future of mantle geochemistry.
