A PROPOSAL
FOR A
PHD PROGRAM IN EARTH SCIENCES
?
AT SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY
1..Executive Summary
As a public university, it is the mandate of Simon Fraser University to provide a
comprehensive set of educational and research opportunities for British Columbians at
the undergraduate and graduate levels in all departments forming the University. The
Department of Earth Sciences has rapidly become an important component of SFU's
capacity to deliver training and research in the vital areas of environmental and
geological sciences, complementing related activities elsewhere in the University,
particularly in the Department of Geography, the School of Resource and
Environmental Management, and the Department of Biological Sciences. The objective
of the proposed doctoral program in the Department of Earth Sciences is to provide
faculty and students with the opportunity to conduct research in all aspects of earth
sciences at the most advanced level. As such, it will contribute to the advanced training
of senior research scientists in the educational, governmental, and industrial sectors of
the economy.
Introduction of this doctoral program completes the final phase of the implementation
plan for establishing the Department of Earth Sciences at SFU. The Earth Sciences
Program commenced operation in 1995 with an undergraduate program leading to a
BSc in Earth Sciences. The graduate program was introduced in 1996 (MSc) and the
Earth Sciences Program became a full Department in the Faculty of Science in 1999.
The Department now has 14 faculty members including four full Professors, two of
whom hold endowed research chairs (Forestry Renewal of British Columbia [FRBC]
-1-
Department of Earth Sciences PhD Proposal
Research Chair and Canadian Research Chair — Tier 1), five Associate Professors,
three Assistant Professors, and two Lecturers. The Department is also in continued
growth: two new Assistant Professors will be hired in 2003; a new building in
construction on the Burnaby campus will host the Department in 2005; and a multi-
million dollar Canadian Fund for Innovation application is under consideration for the
creation of a Centre for Natural Hazard Research. The establishment of the doctoral
program will also complete the University's obligation to provide a full departmental
research environment (MSc and PhD) in which faculty research and the associated
graduate student training at all levels in the Department of Earth Sciences can be
conducted to its full potential.
2.
Curriculum
2.1
Graduate students will develop further their skills as research scientists
and will generate new significant knowledge in their chosen subfield of
research.
?
2.2
?
The existing suite of graduate courses in the Department of Earth
Sciences (see Appendix 1) and elsewhere within SFU and at sister
institutions (under the Western Deans' Agreement) will meet the formal
coursework requirements of the degree. New courses proposed for the
new program, as well as representative course outlines can be found in
Appendix 1.
?
2.3 ?
The structure of the degree program reflects the central role of research
and is identical to that mandated by the Faculty of Science at SFU for
doctoral programs (see the proposed Calendar entry in Appendix 2).
Class size for graduate courses will be small (1-5 students)
?
2.4
?
The doctoral program requires a doctoral thesis based on substantial
original research.
3.
Learning Methodologies
?
3.1 ?
The doctoral program conforms to an apprenticeship model in which
candidates will work in close collaboration with faculty who are established
research scientists.
?
3.2 ?
By its very nature, the PhD program will focus on independent research
undertaken in formal association with an established faculty research
-2-
- ?
Department of Earth Sciences PhD Proposal
scientist. This scientist will head a supervisory group who will be the
S ?
primary provider of the intellectual climate and physical resources for the
student to function as a senior-scientist-in-training.
4. Faculty
?
4.1 ?
The existing faculty complement in the Department of Earth Sciences at
SFU numbers 12 research scientists supported by two teaching faculty
and four other staff. As part of its continued growth, the Department is in
the process of hiring two new tenure-track faculty positions. All current 12
Assistant, Associate and Full Professors have active NSERC-supported
research programs involving the ongoing training of about 30 graduate
students collectively. In addition, six research scientists provide support
to the graduate program as Adjunct Professors. The qualifications of the
research faculty who will be involved in the doctoral program are
documented in Appendix 3.
5.
Program Consultations and Evaluation
?
5.1 ?
Full consultations with Provincial Universities, various government
agencies, and professional associations were conducted when the
S
?
?
Department of Earth Sciences was established and again when the BSc
and MSc programs were introduced. No specific consultations have been
conducted in relation to the proposed doctoral program.
5.2
The graduate program in the Department of Earth Sciences is
administered by a Graduate Studies Committee which continuously
monitors student progress and performance, graduation rates, and the
post-degree employment profile. This committee operates in collaboration
with the Faculty of Science Graduate Studies Committee and the Senate
Graduate Studies Committee. The University has a set of standards and
best practices defined in the Graduate General Regulations. University
policies require the entire Departmental operation to be externally
reviewed for performance every six years.
?
5.3 ?
University policies require the processes noted in Section 5.2 to be
continuing.
6.
Admission and Transfer
?
6.1 ?
Students applying for entrance into the PhD program normally must have
?
completed BSc or MSc (or equivalent) degrees in Earth Sciences or
S ?
acceptable degrees in Science or Engineering from recognized
institutions. They must also satisfy the minimum requirements in SFU's
-3-
- ?
Department of Earth Sciences PhD Proposal
Graduate Genera! Regulations, and be acceptable by the Earth Sciences
Graduate Studies Committee. The minimum University requirements for
admission to a doctoral program are as follows:
(a)
either
a master's degree from a recognized university, or the equivalent,
or
a bachelor's degree, with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5,
from a recognized university, or the equivalent,
or
completion of at least 75% of the course work credits required for the
Department of Earth Sciences Master's programme, with a cumulative
grade point average of at least 3.67. All graduate courses, whether taken
at this University or another university, shall be considered in the
calculation.
and
(b)
submitted evidence that the applicant is capable of undertaking
substantial original research. Normally, such capability will be judged from
letters of reference from qualified referees, and the completion of a
master's thesis or other scholarly work.
In addition, the student must satisfy any further requirements set by the
graduate program committee. Students whose primary language is not
English, may be required to satisfy the University and the graduate
program committee that they have a command of the English language.
Residency requirement is 5 full-time semesters.
Under normal situations, transfer is not applicable. Acceptance of
students transferring to SFU from another institution, or
vice versa,
is
determined by individual departmental policy and identification of a willing
senior supervisor. With prior approval, one half of the course
requirements may be taken in another department or another institution.
7.
Graduate Student Funding
?
7.1
?
Students will be admitted based on a commitment of full funding for up to
4 years by some combination of scholarships, fellowships, research
assistantships, teaching assistantships, and direct funding from their
supervisor's research funds. Presently, this level of graduate student
funding in our department is typically in the $15,000-20,000 range,
although higher for some students receiving well-funded scholarships.
?
7.2 ?
Students will normally only be accepted for admittance if there is a faculty
member who has agreed to be the supervisor and the supervisor and
-4-
Department of Earth Sciences PhD Proposal
department have agreed to provide funding for the student through some
combination of the funding sources listed in 7.1.
8. Other Additional Information
8.1
?
Target Student Audience & Program Character
The program targets MSc graduates who wish to pursue doctoral-level
research in the Earth Sciences. We anticipate 2-5 students per year to
enroll in the program, with an ongoing complement of 12-18 candidates
on an annual basis.
Both UBC and UVic offer PhD programs in Earth Sciences or related
fields. The proposed SFU PhD will provide increased research
opportunities for B.C. geoscientists in the fields of geohazards, tectonics,
and petroleum geology. The department has overlapping areas of
expertise involving environmental geoscience (Quaternary geology and
geomorphology, environmental hazards, engineering geology/forest
geoscience, and groundwater hydrology), and additional strengths in
continental tectonics, magmatisrn and metamorphism, geochemistry,
basin analysis, sedimentology/facies analysis, and applied geophysics.
The normal time of completion of the PhD program is 12 semesters (4
years).
8.2 Labour Market and Student Demand
PhD graduates in Earth Sciences typically secure employment in one of
four main areas: 1) University positions for professorships and lecturers,
2) post-doctoral research positions, 3) federal, provincial and territorial
government geological agencies, and 4) private industry. Based on the
American Geological Institute job postings, PhD graduates in Earth
Sciences can expect approximately 820 permanent or temporary job
positions to be offered annually across North America.
University positions: University postings for tenure professorships have
been relatively steady at approximately 167 positions annually since 1998.
Sessional and sabbatical replacements average 17 annually. These
numbers are anticipated to increase over the next decade, due to the
expected increase of retiring professors at several Canadian universities.
Further, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has funded an average of
172 non-faculty research scientist positions/yr for the past 8 years.
• ?
Post-doc opportunities are significant, although precise numbers are
difficult to ascertain, as many are posted through discussion groups or
via
word-of-mouth. NSF has funded an average of 445 post-doctoral

has funded an average of 10 post-doctoral positions/yr over the last 3
years in Canada.
The Geological Survey of Canada employs some 229 PhD level
geoscientists across Canada and has recruited approximately 10 PhD
scientists/yr over the last 3 years.
Private industry has attracted a significant number of PhD graduates. The
Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British
Columbia (APEG BC) currently has 88 PhDs registered as Professional
Geoscientists and 9 joint Professional Geoscientists /Professional
Engineers in British Columbia. Industry areas of expertise include
hyd rogeology, environmental geology, petroleum geoscience, forestry,
and mining.
A joint study in the United States by the American Geological Institute
(AGI) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in 2001, surveyed 223
recent PhD graduates in Earth and Space Sciences. They found that
more than 78% secured employment in the Earth Sciences. They also
found that the unemployment rate of new PhD graduates in the
geosciences was negligible and significantly below that of 2 years
previous to the study. Over the past five years, the time to find
employment decreased steadily. In 1998, PhD graduates spent an
average 5.5 months looking for a job, while this number was only about
3.6 months after graduation in 2001. No comparable study has been
conducted in Canada to our knowledge. The latest information from the
Canadian Association of Graduate Studies indicate that there were 71
earth sciences PhD degrees awarded in 1998.
Currently, we have three students in PhD programs within the Department
that have been accepted through "special arrangements". A fourth is
expected shortly. Admission under special arrangements is restricted to
exceptionally able applicants who wish to work for a doctoral degree
outside or between existing programs at Simon Fraser University. This is
not regarded to be a normal avenue for admission to a PhD program in
the Faculty of Science. In addition, two of the existing professors, who
are joint appointments with the Department of Geography, also provide
PhD supervision through that department.
Faculty members of the Department routinely receive inquiries from
students for information about enrolling in a PhD program in the
Department. Within the last year alone there have been approximately 20
such inquiries. With the recent recruitment of a second research chair,
this number is liable to increase markedly in the immediate future.

8.3 Continued Growth
The Department and the University are committed to the healthy growth of
Earth Sciences at SFU. The Department is in the process of hiring two
tenure track faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level. The first
appointment will be in Petroleum Geology, with a focus on hydrocarbon
exploration and reservoir evaluation. The second position is in Quaternary
Geoscience or Engineering Geology, with a specialization in natural
hazard research.
Simon Fraser University is currently planning the construction of a new
building for Applied Science, which will host the Department of Earth
Sciences. The expected date of completion of this new facility is
September 2005.
The University will host the new Centre for Natural Hazard Research
(CNHR), starting in 2005. The centre will be supported by a Canada
Research Chair in Natural Hazards located in the Department of Earth
Sciences. The CNHR will be the first of its kind in western Canada to
conduct broad-based, innovative research on natural hazard processes,
including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and
floods. The Centre will have a strong component dedicated to the training
of graduate students in the broad fields of natural hazard assessment and
. ?
mitigation. The CNHR is a collaborative venture, involving scientists from
Simon Fraser University, University of British Columbia, University of
Victoria, University of Northern British Columbia, and University of Alberta.

EASC 618-3 Tectonics of Sedimentary Basins
Instructor: Dr. P. S. Mustard
General:
Regional processes of subsidence and basin formation from a plate tectonics viewpoint. The
course will examine the origins and general characteristics of convergent, divergent, intraplate
and hybrid basins. Methods of discriminating basin origins from an understanding of
depositional systems, stratigraphic analysis, provenance and compositional variations will be
examined. This will be organized around a single
2-3
hour / week time slot which we will pick
in the first week of classes. The course will comprise seminars by the instructor and students and
maybe some guests. Expect a considerable "reading" list as part of this course (but "skimming
intelligently" is really what we will do!)
Prerequisites:
permission of instructor, EASC 309 or equivalent, EASC 402 or equivalent
recommended.

EASC 624-3 GEOLOGY OF THE CANADIAN CORDILLERA
Instructor: Dr. P. S. Mustard
Note:
This graduate course will be held in conjunction with the undergraduate course EASC 408.
Graduate students will complete a similar component of course material to that of the undergraduates.
However, seminar and term paper topics will be at a more advanced level compared to that expected for
undergraduate students in the companion course.
Why stud y
the geology of western Canada's mountains?
The region is a natural laboratory containing "hands-on" examples of features and processes pertaining to
most facets of the Earth Sciences, supported by a wealth of readily available geolo
g
ical, geochemical and
geophysical data. From a global perspective, interpretation of the evolution of the region provides a
model for the way in which new continental crust probably was and is being formed from mostly intra-
oceanic and/or isotopically juvenile material.
What re
g
ion is covered?
The mountains of western Canada, formally known as Canadian Cordillera, are the focus of the course.
Flanking regions (the prairies to the east, and the Pacific Ocean floor to the west) will be discussed
insofar as they relate to the Canadian Cordillera, as will along-strike segments in the United States.
Course outline
I.
Introduction: review of background material of use in deciphering Canadian Cordilleran geology.
II.
Physiography and active tectonics of the Canadian Cordillera.
III.
Description and discussion of rocks, stratigraphy, structure, tectonics, and mineral deposits within
the framework of the five traditional morphogeological belts of the Canadian Cordillera, from
•
east to west, the (1) Foreland; (2) Omineca; (3) Intermontane; (4) Coast; and
(5)
Insular belts.
IV.
Setting of the Canadian Cordillera in North American and world geology.
V.
Summary and synthesis: the tectonic evolution of the Canadian Cordillera.
Prerequisites:
An undergraduate background that includes courses at any level in structural geology,

later weekends in March, possibly requiring a late Friday afternoon start.. It will be either a circle traverse
of the south central Cordillara, or a full Calgary to Vancouver transect
Field Trip Fee:
a $50 field trip fee will be collected to cover transportation and misc. expenses for the
trip but not food. Students should bud
g

EASC 625-3 Canadian Cordillera Geology and Tectonics
Instructor: Dr. P.
S.
Mustard
Course Outline
The Canadian Cordillera represents a world-class example of an "accretionary orogen", where
new continental crust is in the process of formation. It also preserves a partial record of a 2
billion year plus history of tectonic reorganization, with evidence of complex periods of
supercontinent amalgamation, dispersal, and deformation. Understanding this orogenic belt
requires a broad knowledge of both the historically important research from which our current
paradigm has developed (mostly paralleling our understanding of the processes of plate
tectonics), and the current "hot trends" and contentious areas of debate about how this margin
has developed.
This course will be organized around a single 3 hour / week time slot, which we will pick in the
first week of classes. The course will comprise seminars by the instructor and students and
probably some guest experts. Topics for discussion will be tailored to some extent to the
research interests and geologic background of the students taking the course, although students
should expect to also be challenged to learn outside of their main field of interest. Expect a
considerable "reading" list as part of this course (but "skimming intelligently" is really what we
will do!). If there is sufficient interest and relevance, one or more one to three day field trips
may be conducted as part of this course.
Prerequisites:
An
undergraduate background that preferably includes courses at any level in structural geology, plate
tectonics, geochemistry, geophysics, petrology (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous). This
background will be assessed by the instructor, whose specific permission must be obtained before
registration.
Textbook:
None; however, expect a substantial reading list ofjournal articles, etc.

PhD Program
See the "Graduate General Regulations" section 1.3.4 for minimum University requirements for
admission to a doctoral program.
Students whose primary language is not English may be required to demonstrate an adequate
command of English to the university and the graduate program committee. (See also section
1.3.12).
Transfer from the Master's Program to the PhD Program
Students accepted to the PhD program will normally have completed a master's degree in Earth
Sciences or an acceptable master's degree in Science or Engineering. However, a student without
.
a master's degree may be admitted to the PhD program after at least 12 months in the MSc
program, if: 1) they have completed at least 75% of the course work credits required for the
A2-1
Master's program with a cumulative grade point average of at least
3.67,
2)
the student has
shown outstanding potential for research, and 3) the student's supervisory committee,
departmental graduate program committee, and senate graduate studies committee grant
approval.
Course Work
For students entering with a BSc or equivalent: 15 credit hours of graduate courses in addition to
EASC 600, 900, 901 and 998. For students entering with a master's degree: six credit hours of
graduate courses in addition to EASC 600, 900, 901 and 998. Courses should be chosen from the
list below, or with the graduate chairs approval, from related graduate courses in other
departments including Physical Geography, Chemistry, Physics, Biological Sciences, and
Resources and Environmental Management. Course selections will include no more than six
credit hours from 700 level EASC courses. Students must maintain a 3.0 CGPA in course work
(section 1.5.1 of the Graduate General Regulations). Failure to do so is taken as evidence of
unsatisfactory progress (section 1.5.4 of the Graduate General Regulations).
With advance approval, a PhD student may take up to one-half of the above course requirement
at another university for credit toward the PhD degree at Simon Fraser University.
Additional course work may be assigned by the supervisory committee, based on the results of
the Oral Candidacy Examination.
In addition to their normal course work, PhD students must present two research seminars
(EASC 900 and EASC 901). At least one of these seminars should be based on completed or
nearly completed thesis work. One seminar may address any Earth Sciences topic approved by
the supervisory committee. PhD students are expected to attend all the research seminars in the
department.
Oral Candidacy Examination
Every PhD graduate student in the Department of Earth Sciences must complete an Oral
Candidacy Examination prior to the end of the fourth semester of registration, or in the first
semester after transferring from the MSc program. The candidate must submit a written thesis
proposal to the supervisory committee and present it at the beginning of the Oral Candidacy
Examination, which will be followed by an oral examination. The student must demonstrate an
ability to conduct independent research, and have a sufficient command of the studied discipline
to explain the research proposal and defend it. The Oral Candidacy Examination must be
successfully completed prior to undertaking any significant thesis research.
The Oral Candidacy Examination concentrates on the student's major area of research and two
minor areas, as agreed upon by the supervisory committee and the student. The examination is
graded satisfactory/unsatisfactory by an examining committee consisting of the supervisory
committee and one member external to the committee. Students with an unsatisfactory grade
must pass a second exam within six months; a student receiving a second unsatisfactory rating
will be required to withdraw from the program.
Thesis
Students define and undertake original research, the results of which are reported in a thesis and
defended before an examining committee (section 1.9.3 of the Graduate General Regulations).
Students must conform to residence requirements (1.7.3 of the Graduate General Regulations).
A2-2
The program will normally be completed in 12 semesters (4 years) and not more than 15
semesters (5 years).
The student's progress will be reviewed every 12 months by a supervisory committee consisting
of three or more faculty members (as per section 1.8.1 of the Graduate General Regulations). The
senior supervisor will be an Earth Science faculty member approved by the department's
graduate program committee. At each annual review, the student presents a summary of his/her
work to date, with the first review being the Oral Candidacy Examination, when the Thesis
Proposal is to be presented. Students not making satisfactory progress in their research, or
failing to demonstrate satisfactory knowledge and understanding of recent publications in their
general area of research, or failing to have their revised research proposal approved by the
supervisory committee within 18 months of admission may be required to withdraw as per
section 1.8.2 of the Graduate General Regulations.

Current Research Interests
The main focus of my research program is directed at characterizing aquifers and studying geological and environmental
processes in aquifers through the use of geological and hydrogeological techniques, geophysics, geochemistry (major and
stable isotope), and numerical modelling. Projects have included studying the evolution of groundwaters on the Gulf
Islands, saltwater intrusion mechanisms in fractured rock aquifer, scale dependence in hydraulic test data collected near
fault zones, sensitivity of aquifers to climate change, groundwater-surface water interactions. New and planned research
include modelling the hydrogeology of islands following glacial rebound to provide estimates of recharge and to investigate
mechanisms of saltwater intrusion in fractured bedrock aquifers and developing an classification scheme for vulnerability
•
mapping of fractured aquifers [hydraulic testing, saltwater intrusion, numerical modelling, climate change, glacial rebound,
groundwater-surface water interaction,] A component of my research program is related to studying the hydrologic and
thermal constraints inherent to aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) applications. ATES involves the use of groundwater
for supplemental heating and direct cooling of building facilities using groundwater [aquifer thermal energy storage
(AlES), geothermal energy, well configurations]. My research interests also include using stable isotopes in mining / ARD
problems. Isotopes include lead, hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur. I am currently collaborating with J. Mortensen (UBC Earth
and Ocean Sciences) and M. Ghomshei (UBC mining) [stable isotopes, mining, acid rock drainage, groundwater].

Current Research Interests
Integration of ichnology with sedimentology and genetic stratigraphy (sequence stratigraphy) for the development of refined
facies models. My goal is to help to place applied ichnology into the reach of sedimentary facies analysts. The depositional
environments 1 am currently interested in include deltaic successions, highstand and incised shorefaces, estuarine incised
valley complexes, and submarine fan systems.

Current Research Interests
My research interests are in metamorphic petrology, aqueous geochemistry, ore deposits and tectonics. A good deal of my
research has been focused upon applying various methods of pressure, temperature and age determinations to economic and
sub-economic ore deposits. These data have been used to establish tectonic histories. In addition to the regional
metamorphic rocks studied to obtain PTt paths, ore deposits offer a rich source of mineral equilibria for pressure-
temperature terminations as there is an extensive body of thermodynamic data for ore minerals. Additionally, most ore
deposits commonly posses some variety of alteration halo comprised of metamorphic silicates, carbonates and/or oxides that
may be also used to derive pressure, temperature, time and fluid chemistry constraints [Geochemistry, Fluid Inclusions,
Petrology, Computer Modelling of Crustal Fluids, Analytical Instrumentation (SEM, EDS, XRD, XRF, Raman...)]

(Quaternary and Environmental Geology)
12.1 Educational Background
1993 Ph.D. Quaternary geology, University of Alberta, Canada (Quaternary Geology of Glenlyon Map Area (105L),
Yukon Territory).
1986 B.Sc. Honours Geology, University of Alberta, Canada
12.2 Current Research Interests
Studies relating to forestry operations in the Prince George Forest Region. This project will provide quantitative data on
landslide frequencies and on terrain factors contributing to post-timber harvesting landslides. These data can then be used as
a predictive tool in areas that are to be harvested, allowing calibration of slope stability classes for terrain stability mapping.
Resolution of the Early Wisconsinan Stratigraphy in British Columbia. This study will center on examination of long
stratigraphic records in coastal caves, a technique that has proven successful in Norway. These caves provide excellent on-
off signals for glaciations. When glaciers advance and cover a cave, they cause a lake to form, allowing deposition of fine
grained sediments. These sediments are excellent recorders of secular changes of the earth's magnetic field. Comparison of
these records with established variations allows dating of the entire sequence. When glaciers retreat and the caves are re-
exposed, they are occupied by animals providing organic remains suitable for radiocarbon dating and evaluation of the
paleoclirnate. If the cave has developed in carbonate rocks, then dripstones (stalagmites and stalactites) may form during
,
non-glacial conditions. These dripstones are usually amenable to U-Th dating methods, allowing resolution back to the
Early Wisconsinan.
Late Quaternary history of the Chehalis Watershed: Examination of the valley fill revealed a complex sequence of
glaciolacustrine sediments separated by a Late Wisconsinan till. Radiocarbon dates on wood at the base of the lower
A3.31
glaciolacustririe deposits has yielded ages of 19,400 and 19,150. Preliminary analysis of plant and insect macrofossils
indicates a boreal forest dominated by Abies and Picea as Fraser ice advanced into the area. Fieldwork will continue.
