In May-June 2025, Roger traveled to the Cariboo Plateau (BC, Canada) to join in with some fun fieldwork with Sasha Wilson, Jonathan Spence (U Alberta), Maija Raudsepp (Macewan U), Ian Power, and Jamie Burnett (Trent U).
The Lakes on the Plateau have interesting chemistry such as very high alkalinity and salinity, lots of unusual carbonate minerals like magnesite, and some may be analogs for aqueous environments on early Earth and Mars.
Stay tuned for some geochemical data from the lake sediments!
