Lori Snyder

•  Physical Geology
• Environmental Geology
• Geology of National Parks
• Field Geology

My primary interests are in the fields of igneous petrology and economic geology, particularly the relationship between magmatism and mineral deposits. I am currently working on projects in central and northern British Columbia investigating Mesozoic and Cenozoic magmatic processes and related mineralization.
