MASSIMO CHIARADIA, PRESTIGIOUS PORPHYRY DEPOSIT RESEARCHER, TO SHARE HIS EXPERIENCES AT PROEXPLO 2023
The 13th International Congress of Prospectors and Explorers - proEXPLO 2023, will have the presence of speaker Massimo Chiaradia, full professor at the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Geneva, in Switzerland.
He is recognized for his contributions in the field of research on deposit interactions and their timing in different spheres of the Earth system, from the atmosphere, through the biosphere and hydrosphere, to the Earth's crust.
During the last few years, this highly respected researcher has developed a strong interest in the associations between the geodynamic environment, magma petrogenesis and the formation of porphyry-type deposits at convergent margins.
He is also working on technical developments in the field of whole rock lead isotope analysis and mineral dating, using Pb-Pb and Re-Os leaching techniques; as well as in the field of the application of non-traditional stable isotopes (Cl, Cu and Zn) to the petrogenesis of arc magmas.
Likewise, at present, he continues his research on the ratios of magmatic processes and their influence in the genesis of porphyry deposits, the petrogenesis of andesites and their implication in the growth of the crust, and the Cu and Zn isotopic composition of magmatic rocks and volcanic fumaroles.
In parallel, he is in charge of projects in collaboration with researchers from the Section of Environmental and Earth Sciences of Geneva, University of Padova and UNLIL, on petrogenesis of magmatic rocks and Sr isotope stratigraphy.
Regarding his academic profile, Massimo Chiaradia holds a Master's degree in Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Physics from the University of Padova (1982), as well as a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Fribourg (1990).
About proEXPLO
Organized by the Peruvian Institute of Mining Engineers, proEXPLO is one of the main geological-mining meetings in Latin America and a must-attend event for companies and professionals working in exploration.
This 13th edition of proEXPLO will be entitled "Discovering the Mining of the Future" and will be held on May 8-10, 2023, in Lima, Peru.
