Bruce Nelson received his B.A. in geology from Carleton College, Minnesota, in 1977, his M.S. in geology from the University of Kansas in 1980, and his Ph.D. in geology from UCLA in 1985. He received an NSF postdoctoral fellowship to the Institute de Physique du Globe at the Université de Paris (1985-86). He came to the University of Washington in 1986.
Nelson directs the Isotope Geochemistry Laboratory; a complete description of research activities may be found on the Laboratory's web pages. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Oceanography, and is a member of the UW Astrobiology Program. His research interests are in the application of variations in radiogenic isotope compositions (Pb, Nd, Hf, Sr, U-series) and trace element abundances to studies of the origin and evolution of continental crust, the chemical structure of mantle plumes and the suboceanic mantle, intraplate and mid-ocean ridge volcanism, the paleochemistry of sea water, and hydrothermal circulation systems at mid-ocean ridges. He also examines variations in stable metal isotope ratios (e.g., Cu, Zn, Fe) to infer processes of hydrothermal circulation and metal fluxes relevant to environmental concerns. Recent studies include investigation of the sources of granites and basalts in the Cascades, volcanism in the Kamchatka arc, the evolution of volcanism in the Hawaiian and Canary Islands, chemical fluxes associated with hydrothermal alteration of oceanic crust, metal isotope variability in mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems, and the isotopic signature of anthropogenic toxic metals accumulating in Puget Sound.
The Isotope Geochemistry Laboratory is built around a suite of five adjoining clean laboratories. One lab is dedicated to common Pb and U-series processing, another to trace metal separations, another to Nd, Hf, Sr, Se and other analyses, and a general acid preparation and cleaning lab. The instrumentation lab houses a VG Sector solid source mass spectrometer, and a Nu Instruments multiple-collector ICP-MS.
