CYRIL CHELLE-MICHOU, RENOWNED PROFESSOR OF MINERAL RESOURCE SYSTEMS IN ZURICH, TO PARTICIPATE IN PROEXPLO 2023
The 13th International Congress of Prospectors and Explorers - proEXPLO 2023 will have as special guest speaker Cyril Chelle-Michou, French scientist and Assistant Professor of Mineral Resource Systems at the Institute of Geochemistry and Petrology, Department of Earth Sciences, since December 2018.
He obtained a double degree in Geological Engineering from the Ecole Nationale de Geologie de Nancy (ENSG), France, and a Master's degree in Earth Sciences from Luleå University of Technology (LTU), Sweden, in 2008.
From 2014 to 2018, he was a postdoctoral researcher successively at the University of Geneva, Jean Monnet University (Saint-Etienne, France) and the University of Bristol (UK).
Cyril Chelle-Michou's research focuses on the study of mineral resources. He adopts an interdisciplinary approach in which methods, data and concepts spanning a wide range of fields (economic geology, geochronology, petrology, geochemistry, tectonics and numerical modeling) are interconnected to unravel the processes that have shaped our planet and created nature, resources on which our society depends.
His approach considers crust-wide scale mineral resource systems within which a variety of geological processes may have converged to form small-scale concentrations of metals.
The main research objectives of his group are to: identify and quantify the relative importance of various geological processes in controlling the size of mineral deposits and the number of mineral belts, quantify magmatic-hydrothermal flows in dynamically (temporally and spatially) evolving systems, develop new exploration methods and decision-making tools to help identify mineralization with the greatest potential as early as possible, and develop high-precision geochronological methods.
About proEXPLO
It is one of the leading geological-mining events in Latin America and a must-attend meeting for companies and professionals working in exploration.
This Congress, promoted by the Peruvian Institute of Mining Engineers, will hold its thirteenth edition, entitled "Discovering the Mining of the Future" from May 8 to 10, 2023, in the city of Lima, Peru.
