Dr Charles Routleff

Overview

My major research interest is the formation and evolution of auriferous resources, with a particular emphasis on Archean greenstone-hosted deposits. Greenstone belts contain significant "old gold" which formed billions of years ago, in conditions which have drastically changed during the thermochemical evolution of Earth. They are relatively heterogeneous and therefore excellent subjects to study the interplay between ore genesis, Archean tetonic process and crustal differentiation.

Interests

• Intrusion-related and orogenic gold systems
• Applied geochemistry
• Archean tectonics
• Greenstone belts
• Petrography
• Mineralogy
