Research Interests

Tony Naldrett joined the Department of Geology in 1967. He and his students/research associates have worked on the geology, mineralogy and chemistry of magmatic sulfide deposits and related rocks. He has authored, or co-authored along with his students and colleagues, 227 refereed publications, plus the writing or editing of 7 books, the most recent published by Springer Verlag in 2004.

Tony s research has covered most of the world s magmatic sulfide ores, including those at Sudbury, the Abitibi Belt, the West Australian Komatiite deposits, the Zimbabwe Ni deposits, deposits of the Raglan and Thompson Nickel belts, Noril sk, Pechenga, Jinchuan, the Duluth Complex, and PGE in the Bushveld and Stillwater complexes, the Great Dyke, and at Lac des Iles. He has also taken an interest in chemical processes related to magmatic sulfides, including work on the Fe-S-O and Fe-Ni-S systems, sulfur solubility in silicate melts, the activities of divalent cations in mafic melts, partitioning of Ni, Cu, Co and PGE between sulfide and silicate melts and between mss and sulfide melts. He retired in 1998, but retains a position as University Professor Emeritus, and continues his research on magmatic sulfide deposits, most recently as Honorary Professor in the School of Geosciences, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.

Apart from academic studies, Tony has played a role in several scientific societies, becoming President of the Mineralogical Association of Canada (1982-83), the Society of Economic Geologists (1991-92), the International Mineralogical Association (1998-2002) and the Geological Society of America (2001-2002). His honours include appointment as University Professor of the University of Toronto (1984), election to Fellowship in the Royal Society of Canada in 1984, Honorary Life Fellowships in the European Union of Geosciences (1983), Russian Mineralogical Society (1999) and Mineralogical Society (2002), the Barlow Gold Medal of the Canadian Institute for Mining and Metallurgy (1974), the Bownocker Gold Medal of Ohio State University (1986), the Duncan Derry (1980) and Logan Medals (1994) of the Geological Association of Canada, the Society (1982) and Penrose Gold (2002) Medals of the Society of Economic Geologists, and the Past-Presidents Medal of the Mineralogical Association of Canada (1991). Tony was awarded D.Sc. honoris causa by Laurentian University in 2000 and by the University of Pretoria in 2001.
