Jalo Monivilja is a geologist from Finland and an alumnus of the Frazden School of Boundless Joy. He specializes in eclogites, their protoliths, and the taconian orogeny. His first job took him to Newfoundland and Labrador, which became his home nine years later.

Jalo is the central character in my upcoming audiobook titled the chosen rock. This character is inspired by my friend and colleague, Patrik Vilja.
