Biography
Dr. Seán McClenaghan is a funded investigator in the iCRAG Raw Materials spoke. Seán graduated with an MSc from the University of Ottawa and a PhD from the University of New Brunswick, before joining Trinity College Dublin in 2013 as an Assistant Professor. Research focuses on dissecting ore deposit systems through the application of bulk geochemical and advanced micro-analytical techniques. Much of this research has centred on the petrology of massive sulphide (Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au) deposits in the Appalachians and Precambrian Canadian Shield of North America as well as carbonate hosted Zn-Pb deposits of the Irish Midlands.
