The development of industrialized societies requires the use of resources that have to be mined. Among those resources are several important metals (e.g. Cu, Ni, Pd, Pt) that, at present, can only be extracted from deposits formed by cooling of magmas (orthomagmatic deposits) or by interaction of magmas with aqueous fluids (magmatic-hydrothermal deposits). As demands of these metals grow due to the requirements of developed and developing countries and supply diminishes by the progressive exhaustion of known resources, the need to find new deposits for these metals increases. Successful, efficient exploration for these resources and their efficient exploitation relies on our understanding of how such deposits form. Because these resources are limited, every new discovery requires stronger efforts and a better understanding of where mineralization occurs, how these deposits are formed and what controls the spatial distribution of the metals of interests within a particular district. My research is aimed at understanding the geochemical mechanisms that favour the transfer of metals of interest from the Earth's mantle to the crust and the mechanism that control the precipitation of these metals in the anomalous concentrations required for their extraction to be economically feasible. In addition, my research also aims to understand how subsequent thermal events may further remobilize metals and affect the distribution of these metals in their current environments. The goal is to integrate the results of my work with the broader research work on ore deposit genesis to generate models that better predict how and where these deposits can be found in order to optimize exploration and exploitation of these non-renewable resources.

工业化社会的发展需要使用必须开采的资源。这些资源中有几种重要的金属（例如铜、镍、钯、铂），目前只能从通过岩浆冷却（正岩浆矿床）或通过岩浆与含水流体相互作用形成的矿床（岩浆-热液矿床）中提取。 ）。随着发达国家和发展中国家对这些金属的需求不断增长，以及已知资源的逐渐枯竭，供应不断减少，为这些金属寻找新矿藏的需求也随之增加。对这些资源的成功、有效的勘探及其有效的开采依赖于我们对这些矿床如何形成的理解。由于这些资源是有限的，每一个新发现都需要付出更大的努力，并更好地了解矿化发生的地点、这些矿床是如何形成的以及控制特定区域内感兴趣的金属的空间分布的因素。我的研究旨在了解有利于感兴趣的金属从地幔转移到地壳的地球化学机制，以及控制这些金属以异常浓度沉淀的机制，使提取这些金属在经济上可行。此外，我的研究还旨在了解随后的热事件如何进一步重新激活金属并影响这些金属在当前环境中的分布。目标是将我的工作成果与更广泛的矿床成因研究工作相结合，生成模型，更好地预测如何以及在哪里发现这些矿床，从而优化这些不可再生资源的勘探和开采。
