Snir Attia
Snir Attia is a Research Geologist with the Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry (G3) Science Center.
My research focuses on understanding how the evolution of the lithosphere records and contributes to tectonic, magmatic, and ore-forming processes across the western U.S. Cordillera. To study these systems, I combine geologic mapping, digital data synthesis, laboratory analysis, statistical methods, and geoinformatics to reconstruct magmatism, tectonism, fluid-rock interaction, and landscape evolution in space and time to unravel their impact on the development of lithospheric architecture.
Science and Products
Porphyry Copper Systems of the Boulder batholith, Montana
The project seeks to better understand the mineral systems of the Boulder batholith and surrounding region in Montana using new airborne geophysical data in conjunction with geologic mapping.
Northern Rocky Mountains Transect
The goal of the Northern Rocky Mountains Transect (NRMT) project is to produce updated geologic maps of an important and understudied region of Idaho and western Montana that covers a wide array of distinct geologic terrains.
