"There are places on Earth that we still haven’t explored,” said Matthew Siegfried, assistant professor of geophysics at Colorado School of Mines and a lead author of the paper, published March 9 in Geology. “We have now one sample trying to understand an environment that is one and a half times the size of the continental United States."

Low-sulfidation epithermal deposits are one of the most important sources of gold in the United States.

Mines researchers and alumni are at the forefront of U.S. water management challenges, working on mitigation, water reuse, new water systems, alternative renewable energy and more.

A new model for the formation of orogenic gold deposits developed by researchers at Colorado School of Mines could have significant implications on the exploration of much of the world’s known gold deposits.

Researchers at Colorado School of Mines are developing new technology that will enable mining companies to quantitatively model the carbon sequestration potential of copper-nickel-platinum-group element ore deposits.

Lauren Miller, a master’s student in geological engineering at Colorado School of Mines, has been honored with the Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award from the National Association of Geoscience

Colorado School of Mines graduate student Adam Malsam was monitoring a rock slope on Floyd Hill, near where Interstate 70 and US Highway 6 meet, when he noticed something a bit unusual.

The special award recognizes individuals who have made a specific technical contribution to exploration geophysics, such as an invention or a theoretical or conceptual advancement.

I came to Mines as an associate professor in 2012 after having been tenured at Penn State. I moved to Mines for the remarkable Hydrologic Science and Engineering Program we have here on campus. After
