Geochemistry and Isotopes...

Welcome to Ben Fosu's homepage.

I am, since May 2021, a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the Quebec division of the Geological Survey of Canada, Natural Resources Canada. 

My research interests broadly encompass the application of stable isotope geochemistry to petrology, marine, environmental, and ore geology, focusing on carbonate archives. I use a combination of stable isotopes of carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, and clumped isotopes, and triple oxygen isotopes. Radiometric dating methods and trace element geochemistry are also occasionally applied.

My current work focuses on the geothermometry of dolomite successions and the assessment of vital/contamination effects in biogenic carbonates.
