About the Samson Research Group

My research interests revolve around hydrothermal systems, particlarly as they relate to mineral deposits. Some examples of my recent work include:

  • studies of hydrothermal rare element deposits
  • Olympic Dam-type deposits
  • geochemistry of W in hydrothermal systems
  • Ag-Au mineralization
  • origin of fluids in the Irish Zn-Pb deposits
  • role of volatiles in the formation and modification of PGE deposits
