Dylan defened his MSc in October 2020.

Dylan completed his MSc at the Diamond Exploration

Laboratory at the University of British Columbia. He completed my bachelor's degree with honors in 2018 from Montclair State University and was part of two projects in his final year. The first was an analysis of grain size distribution in marine sediments from the Weddell Sea in Antarctica during the Eocene-Oligocene transition in order to infer climactic information based on the shift of grain size distribution. His second project was the bulk geochemical analysis of an unknown suite of granite sheets from the Hudson Highlands in New York. Dylan's master's project focused on investigating the origin of megacrysts within kimberlite through the analysis of megacryst samples from the Muskox kimberlite pipe in the northern Slave craton.

Dylan went to work with RioTinto inthe USA as a Senior Quality Laboratory Analyst.
