Economic mineralogy
Gold nugget
Our research addresses the financial, social and environmental impacts of mineral resource exploitation and is focusing on a range of topics
- natural resources
- mining
- sustainability
- environmental processes
Natural resources
Our research into natural resources is focusing on
- mineralogy and processes involved in the formation of useful minerals in the earth’s crust
- mineralogical aspects of sustainable processing
Mineralogy
We are studying minerals in a spatial and temporal context to interpret the
- magmatic
- hydrothermal
- low temperature
geological processes responsible for mineral formation.
New predictive geological models
We are also developing new predictive geological models
- for deposit formation aiming to improve discovery efficiency
- more sustainable uses of raw materials and waste streams
