2) Numerical modeling of hydrothermal processes
3) Experimental studies of fluids and metals
Economic Geology
Ore Geology
Objectives: basic knowledge of ore deposit types, understanding of ore-forming processes (geological, chemical and physical processes)
Economic Geology
Ore Mineralogy
Objectives: basics of reflected-light microscopy, knowledge of optical properties of most important ore (opaque) minerals, interpretation of ore mineral textures
Economic Geology
Hydrothermal Geochemistry
Objectives: general knowledge of hydrothermal geochemistry, metal transport and deposition in ore-forming systems (chemical equilibria, stable isotopes)
Economic Geology
Modeling Hydrothermal Systems
Objectives: using geochemical modeling computer software, use of geochemical modeling to understand hydrothermal processes and fluid-rock interaction
Economic Geology
Mining Course
Objectives: underground mapping of massive sulfide ore bodies in active mine, basic principles of ore resource estimation from drill core data
