Rate My Professor Joel Cubley

Cubley's research applies metamorphic petrology, igneous geochemistry, thermodynamic modeling, accessory phase geochronology, petrogenesis, structural geology, and economic geology to investigate tectonic processes in orogenic belts, particularly the northern Canadian Cordillera. His peer-reviewed publications include "Seismic evidence for craton chiseling and displacement of lithospheric mantle by the Tintina Fault in the Northern Canadian Cordillera" (Geology, 2020, with C. Esteve et al.), "Lithospheric S-wave velocity variations beneath the Mackenzie Mountains and Northern Canadian Cordillera" (Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2023, with D.L. Schutt et al.), "Evidence for asthenospheric flow rotation in northwest Canada: insights from shear wave splitting" (Geophysical Journal International, 2022, with A.R. Bolton et al.), "U-Pb geochronological constraints on the timing of episodic regional metamorphism and rapid high-T exhumation of the Grand Forks complex, British Columbia" (Lithos, 2013, with D.R.M. Pattison et al.), and "Thermochronological constraints on the Eocene exhumation of the Grand Forks complex, British Columbia" (Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2013, with D.R.M. Pattison et al.), among at least 14 contributions. In service, he is Faculty Representative on the Yukon University Senate (2020–present), Co-Chair of the Academic Appeals Committee (2018–present), and a member of the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer Earth Sciences Articulation Committee (2013–present), alongside roles such as Director of the Yukon Stikine Regional Science Fair (2012–present).
