About
My experience ranges from Appalachian orogenic gold, to Zn and Pb exploration in Arctic shales, to isotope and trace element geochemistry in volcanic iron oxide deposits, with a solid education in geology. My research is focused on iron oxide-copper-gold and iron oxide-apatite mineralization in the Chilean Iron Belt. I use trace elements and isotopes in iron oxides to test current genetic models. Current sample sites include Mantoverde Mine, Candelaria Mine, El Laco Mine, Cerro Negro Mine, Mariella Ignacia Mine, Carmen Mine, and others. I completed my PhD program in economic geology at the University of Michigan. I completed my B.S. in geology at the University of South Carolina, with courses taken while visiting the University of Olso and Northern Arizona University.
