Erin Adlakha conducted a PhD thesis project, hydrothermal alteration along the P2 fault (major basement fault) and McArthur River uranium deposit (the world largest high-grade uranium deposit) in the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan.

She submitted and defended her PhD thesis in 2016 and currently working as an Assistant Professor at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax.

	Erin Adlakha is the recipient of Frank Shea Memorial Award (best presentation at the Atlantic Universities Geology Conference) in 2011. Society of Economic Geologists Travel Grant in 2011 2013 Best presentation award of the Advances in Earth Science Research Conference 2013 Society of Economic Geologists Graduate Student Fellowship 2013 SGA Travel Grant to attend Uppsala mtg.
	Visit to the Cameco’s McArthur River uranium mine, guided by Brian McGill (second L), Chief Geologist of the Mine and also the discoverer of the deposit. Jack Dann (far L), McGill, Michael Power (centre), Erin Adlakha, and Keiko Hattori (far Right)

.

Erin Adlakha has been very productive and quick in disseminating her findings at meetings and publications.
