Professor Adam C. Simon is the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan. His research group focuses on combining experimental and field laboratory work to understand the chemical and physical processes affecting element mobility in geological systems, particularly emphasizing the nature and concentration of metals in small volumes of the Earth's crust that form mineral deposits. His research ultimately aims to improve genetic models of mineral deposit formation to ensure a sustainable supply of resources for the growing global population. Current projects include investigating the formation of iron oxide-apatite and iron oxide-copper-gold deposits in the Chilean iron belt and constraining the relationship between sulfur mobility and oxygen fugacity in magmatic-hydrothermal systems.
