Background

About Jonathan Cloutier

My main research interests are in the areas of geochemistry, isotope geochemistry, economic geology, petrology, mineralogy and hyperspectral geology. In particular, my research aims to increase our understanding of the genesis and geodynamic setting of ore deposits using a multidisciplinary and multi-scale approach, supported by fieldwork and various high-precision analytical techniques. In addition to the immediate ore deposit environment, my research also focuses on weakly mineralised and barren alteration areas, as understanding these systems is key to understanding the processes leading to ore deposition, but also why some areas are not endowed with mineralization. My research interests include sedimentary-hosted stratiform copper, VMS, SEDEX, orogenic gold, unconformity-related uranium and porphyry Mo-Cu deposits.
