Rate My Professor Steven Denyszyn

Denyszyn's research centers on high-precision U-Pb geochronology, primarily using the CA-ID-TIMS method, applied to mafic rocks especially those related to ore deposits, large igneous provinces with emphasis on ore deposits, environmental effects, and paleocontinental reconstructions, granites mainly concerning continental growth, and lower-crustal rocks chiefly for formation of continental crust, ore deposit generation, and transport of heat, fluids, and magmas. He maintains capabilities in paleomagnetism, geochemistry including isotopes, and igneous petrology. With 55 research outputs including 43 peer-reviewed articles, his key publications include "Continental flood basalt weathering as a trigger for Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth" (Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2016), "Precise age determination of mafic and felsic intrusive rocks from the Permian Emeishan large igneous province (SW China)" (Gondwana Research, 2012), "Magmatic duration of the Emeishan large igneous province: Insight from northern Vietnam" (Geology, 2020), "Paleomagnetism and U-Pb geochronology of Franklin dykes in High Arctic Canada and Greenland" (Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2009), "Post-collisional alkaline magmatism as gateway for metal and sulfur enrichment of the continental lower crust" (Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2018), and "Formation of lower arc crust by magmatic underplating revealed by high-precision geochronology" (Geology, 2023). His work has received 1,946 citations and involves ARC projects on Proterozoic multistage rift basins key to mineral systems.
