Corey Wall is a Researcher and Facilities Manager at the Pacific Centre for Isotopic and Geochemical Research (PCIGR) at the University of British Columbia, within the Faculty of Science's Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences. He specializes in high-precision U-Pb geochronology applied to layered intrusions such as the Stillwater Complex (Montana) and Bushveld Complex (South Africa). His work focuses on understanding magmatic processes, magma injection timing, and the formation of platinum-group-element (PGE) deposits in open-system environments. Wall employs advanced techniques like chemical abrasion and multi-element isotopic tracers to refine age determinations of geological formations.
Education: PhD in Geological Sciences (UBC, 2016), B.Sc. Honours in Geological Sciences (UBC, 2009). Previous roles include Research Scientist (Boise State University, 2017-2021) and Postdoctoral Fellow (Boise State, 2016-2017). His research also addresses ion emitter chemistry, mineral standard characterization, and the petrogenesis of silicic magmas.
Research interests include layered intrusion chronology, magma dynamics, and the application of geochronology to tectonic and economic geology problems. Key contributions involve refining the timing of magmatism in large igneous provinces and linking geochronological data to environmental and climatic events such as the end-Ediacaran extinction.
Publications focus on geochronological techniques, magmatic processes, and the integration of geochemical data to understand crustal evolution. His work has been published in journals like Chemical Geology, Nature Communications, and Geology, emphasizing methodological advancements and geological interpretations.
