Jesse Reimink is broadly interested in how the crust was formed, deformed, and recycled, particularly on the early Earth. His Ph.D. work was spent mapping within the remote Acasta Gneiss Complex in the Northwest Territories, Canada, an area widely regarded to contain the oldest known evolved crust on Earth. To investigate the formation of evolved crust through time, he employs a wide variety of radiogenic and stable isotope systems including zircon U-Pb, oxygen, and hafnium isotope systems as well as whole rock elemental signatures together with Nd and W isotope data.
