Current Areas:
Hinthorne's background and interests center on the geochemistry of silicate
minerals (especially trace elements and light elements), analytical geochemistry
(especially ion and electron microprobe analysis, and computer automation
systems), and geographic information systems and image processing software
applied to natural resource problems. Past work has included analysis and
age determinations of lunar samples, phenocryst characterization in younger
Columbia River Basalts, and investigation of a wide variety of industrial
metal and ceramic materials.
