Graham Cairns Email and Phone Number

Director, Analytical Services Unit

I look after the metals analysis side of the laboratory. Some of the instruments I am primarily responsible for are inductively coupled plasma based (optical emission and ms). I also look after our flame atomic absorption and electrothermal furnace hydride generation instruments. During the summer, I typically spend several weeks in the Canadian arctic or other remote sites, training staff and setting up and running mobile analytical laboratories. I also work at our lab in the Nunavut Research Institute on Baffin Island, Nunavut.I assume the position of the director in the director's absence and am responsible for report writing, coordination of activities and special projects.
