Ore deposits
Society of Economic Geologists
If you want to find out which events (fieldtrips, shortcourses and conferences) are taking place worldwide or learn about new advances in mineral deposit research, check out their website. Membership provides discounted rates for professional development, electronic access to Economic Geology and SEG news, and access to grants for research, fieldtrips, and conference attendance.
Mineralogical Association of Canada
Follow mineral resources related events in Canada from conferences to latest publications. Recent advances in mineralogy, petrology and mineral deposits are published in “The Canadian Mineralogists” as well as in their monographs. Membership provides access to discounted rates for publications and conferences and access to grants for research, fieldtrips and conference attendance.
Northwest Territories Geological Survey and their database
Contact info for geologists with broad experience in the region, access to geologic and mining reports and tools to query data and visualize available data in maps of NWT. Follow them also for the yearly NWT Geosciences Forum (~ November) where a even mixture of government, industry and academia gather to talk about latest developments in the region.
Lluis Fontbote at University of Geneva
List of some of the most important ore minerals with the corresponding identification keys and pictures on reflected light microscopy.
Fluid inclusions
Ron Bakker at University of Leoben
Thermodynamic models for multiple aqueous systems including H2O, several gases, several chloride salts and some of their combinations in multicomponent systems.
Robert J. Bodnar at Virginia Tech
Access to the Roedder memorial library, multiple publications from this group and software including AMS for LA-ICPMS data processing of inclusions.
Phil Brown at Wisconsin Madison
Hosts the fluid inclusion listserv and provides updates on recent books and publications on fluid inclusion research.
Zhenhao Duan at Chinese Academy of Sciences
Thermodynamic models for a variety of aqueous systems including H2O, CO2, methane, nitrogen, several chloride salts and some of their combinations in binary and ternary systems.
Chris Heinrich and Thomas Driesner at ETH, Zürich
Software for LA-ICPMS data processing of inclusions (SILLS), fluid flow modelling (CSMP++) and thermodynamic properties of fluids in the system H2O-NaCl at a broad range of pressures and temperatures (SOWAT).
Matthew Steele-MacInnis at University of Alberta
Software for thermometric interpretation of H2O-NaCl, H2O-NaCl-CaCl2 fluids and pressure interpretation from mineral inclusions.
