PhD in Paleontology and former researcher at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Expert in Alberta's geology, glacial formations, and the prehistoric history of the Badlands.
Dr. Elias Thorne holds a PhD in Vertebrate Paleontology from the University of Alberta and spent eight years conducting fieldwork in Dinosaur Provincial Park and the Drumheller Badlands. His deep understanding of the province's geological history allows him to explain complex phenomena, from the recession of the Athabasca Glacier to the formation of the iconic hoodoos. Currently working as a science communicator, Elias bridges the gap between academic research and public curiosity, helping visitors interpret the landscape beyond just the scenery. He offers unique insights into responsible fossil hunting and the ancient climates that shaped Western Canada.
