Lori Kennedy is an Associate Professor of Structural Geology at the University of British Columbia. She arrived at UBC in 1996, after receiving an MSc from the University of New Brunswick, and a Ph.D. from Texas A&M University. Lori’s research is focused on mechanisms of deformation and strain localization in the crust. She has worked on diverse structural topics including structural controls and modification of ore deposits, the role of fluids on fault zone evolution, and the role of shear zones on the emplacement of dacite domes. Her research includes both field-based studies and experimental rock deformation. Lori and her graduate students have most recently completed structural studies of the richly-mineralized porphyry Cu/Au and epithermal Au KSM area in northwest British Columbia, the Gibraltar Cu-Mo deposit, and porphyry deposits in the Southern Coast Belt near Taseko Lakes.
