Joel Cubley

Joel Cubley is an Associate Professor in the Earth Sciences program at Yukon University and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan. His research applies metamorphic petrology, igneous geochemistry, and thermodynamic modeling to study tectonic processes in orogenic belts.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Geology, University of Calgary (2012)
• B.A. in Geology, Middlebury College (2005)

Dr. Cubley is a licensed professional geoscientist with APEGA. His research integrates field and laboratory methods to understand mountain building processes, with key emphases on:

• Thermodynamic modeling of metamorphic rocks
• Accessory phase geochronology and petrogenesis
• Structural controls on mineral deposit formation
• Tectonic evolution of orogenic systems
• Economic geology of northern mineral resources

He is affiliated with the Centre for Northern Innovation in Mining at Yukon University, focusing on geoscience applications in northern environments.
