Amanda  Van Lankvelt’s research

Amanda completed BA at Carleton College in Wisconsin in the spring of 2010 and arrived in Ottawa in the fall of 2010.
After completing MSc at UO in the winter of 2013, she started a PhD program at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Her thesis research project examines tonalitic-granitic rocks around the North Caribou greenstone belt, which is considered to be the core of the Canadian Shield.
