Welcome to UBC AGILE
UBC AGILE is a research team dedicated to investigating
the dynamics and evolution of the lithosphere through the chronology, petrology and geochemistry of metamorphosed rocks. |
ResearchWe investigate the formation, evolution and dynamics of the lithosphere through field work, and petrological, geochemical, isotope, and chronometric analysis.
|
The TeamWe are international team of researchers committed to studying the dynamic lithosphere, and employing and developing innovative analytical techniques in geoscience.
