Biography

Brian Tattitch is an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow with a PhD in Geology from the University of Maryland, College Park. Originally trained as a chemist, he shifted his focus to geology where he became fascinated with fluid inclusions in minerals found in hydrothermal environments. His research includes using inclusions to understand the interplay between hydrothermal ore deposits, geothermal reservoirs, and volcanic degassing. Tattitch's work emphasizes the significance of understanding extreme hydrothermal fluids and how they relate to ore formation, geothermal power generation, and volcanic activity. He employs advanced experimental techniques to create synthetic hydrothermal fluid reservoirs in the laboratory to accurately quantify the properties of these fluids under extreme conditions. Tattitch collaborates with various organizations, including BHP and the Geologic Survey of Japan, focusing on improving mineral systems models for porphyry deposits and developing new research opportunities in the field.
