Adam Simon
Adam C. Simon is Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan. He earned degrees in geology from the University of Maryland and Stony Brook University, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at The Johns Hopkins University where he investigated the formation of layered mafic intrusions in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica. Adam spent his first seven years as a faculty member of the University of Nevada Las Vegas where he worked on Carlin type gold deposits before moving to Michigan in 2012. He is a Fellow of the Society of Economic Geologists. His research program combines field, analytical and experimental work to unravel the genesis of mineral systems, including IOCG, IOA, porphyry and Carlin systems. Adam co-authored two textbooks Mineral Resources, Economics and the Environment, and Earth Materials: Components of a Diverse Planet, and has published nearly fifty papers in the field of mineral resources.
