"Future of photovoltaic materials with emphasis on resource availability, economic geology, criticality, and market size/growth" 

Dr. Suzanne Paradis is a senior research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada. Her main research activity focuses on sediment-hosted base metal deposits, including Mississippi Valley–type and clastic-dominated sediment-hosted Zn-Pb deposits and associated critical metals. She provides insight into their origin, timing, and tectono-stratigraphic setting. Other fields of expertise include volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits of Archean and Proterozoic belts. She was recently involved in Natural Resources Canada research activities related to critical material ore systems in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey and Geoscience Australia.
