Edward Grew

Edward Grew is a Research Professor in the School of Earth and Climate Sciences at the University of Maine. His research focuses on boron and beryllium minerals, granulite-facies metamorphism, and the evolution of minerals in Earth's crust. He collaborates internationally on ion microprobe analyses and has discovered several new mineral species, including chopinite in Antarctica and menzerite-(Y) in Canada.

Professional activities include editorial roles for journals like American Mineralogist and leadership in the International Mineralogical Association. Current projects include NSF-funded boron isotope studies and investigations into Antarctic mineral assemblages. He advises students on topics like meteorite mineralogy and borosilicate geochemistry.

Notable contributions include defining garnet nomenclature and linking phosphate minerals to metamorphic processes. His work bridges field geology, mineral chemistry, and planetary science, with fieldwork in Antarctica and Canada.
