Biography

Jamie Wilkinson is a Professor of Geology at Imperial College London. His research specializes in understanding geochemistry and hydrothermal fluid-rock interactions in the Earth's crust. He focuses particularly on metals transported and deposited in dispersed ore-forming systems. His current research explores the controls on metallogenic fertility of arc magmas and the genesis of porphyry ore deposits. Additionally, he investigates mineral chemistry, hydrothermal alteration, and exploration applications using multivariate statistics and artificial intelligence machine learning techniques. He employs transition metal isotopes such as Zinc, Copper, and Iron to trace metal sources, flow pathways, and depositional mechanisms, contributing to advancements in geochemistry and sediment-hosted ore systems. Jamie has held various prestigious positions, including Director at the Natural History Museum and honorary roles at the University College London and the University of Tasmania.
