Congratulations to Barbara Sherwood Lollar on being appointed the Dr. Norman Keevil Chair in Ore Genesis Geology for a five year term. The stature, scope, and impact of Barb’s research on the geochemistry of fluids and gases, and their rock interactions, make her an ideal recipient for the endowed Chair position established in 1997 through a generous gift to the University of Toronto from the Canadians Resident Abroad Foundation.
