Daniel Layton-Matthews is an Associate Professor in Geological Science and Geological Engineering at Queen's University. His research program investigates chemical indicators in sedimentary rocks, post-depositional modification of minerals, and geochemical dispersion patterns for mineral exploration.
Current research examines trace element signatures in ancient ore systems, with field sites including the Canadian Shield, Australian playa uranium deposits, and marine ferromanganese formations. His group develops analytical methods for in-situ geochemical analysis and isotopic tracing of element migration pathways.
Research collaborations span industry partners and government geological surveys. Fieldwork integrates drone-based sampling techniques and advanced laboratory analysis including LA-ICP-MS and isotope ratio measurements.
