Wyatt Bain is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at Western University, where he holds the Robert W. Hodder Chair in Economic Geology. His research specializes in the study of mineral deposits, particularly the factors that drive compositional evolution in magmatic, metamorphic, and metasomatic systems within the Earth's crust. He employs a field-based approach that integrates conventional petrology, fluid and melt inclusion analysis, field mapping, mineral analysis, and whole-rock geochemistry. His ongoing research initiatives include examining PGE Co resources in Ontario and British Columbia and investigating the genesis of ferrocarbonatites and iron skarn deposits. Additionally, Bain is focused on training highly qualified personnel in geoscience and mineral industries and is currently recruiting Master's honors students for mineral resource-focused projects in these regions. He has published extensively on topics related to geological processes and mineralization, demonstrating a strong commitment to advancing the understanding of critical mineral resources.
