Also, field work on the Johnson River epithermal prospect (Westmin
Resources) in southern Alaska.
Short course given in November 1994 to exploration and government geologists in the Philippines (through TVI Pacific). Visit in 1994 to Geological Survey of Japan to discuss possible collaborative research and exchanges with MDRU. |

Field trips in October to two major Paleozoic
massive sulfide deposits in southern China, as part of an invited
lecture tour organized by the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences
and the Yichang Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources. Discussions
held on future collaboration between MDRU and C.A.G.S. on mineral
deposit research in China, and the possibility of a scientific exchange
program. Note: As of March 1997, Chinese collaborators have received
funding for 3 years. |

Survey of Japan to give talk, and to discuss possible collaboration
with MDRU on Tertiary Kuroko deposits, modern seafloor massive sulfide
deposits and geothermal Au-rich systems. |

Participant in the CASM VI cruise to the
northern and southern segments of the Southern Explorer Ridge and
Tuzo Wilson Seamounts. Took part in operations as on CASM V. Sulfide
deposits were dredged from the southern segment of the Explorer
Ridge, and hydrothermal plumes were located on the northern segment. |
| 1985 |
Participant in the CASM V cruise to the
Southern Explorer Ridge and Tuzo Wilson Seamounts: bottom photography,
basalt dredging, nephelometer runs, sediment coring, and hydrocast
deployment to obtain smoke samples from the hydrothermal vents.
At least 10 new sulfide deposits were discovered. Also: co-leader
of field trip to examine Precambrian stratigraphy and iron-formations
north of Lake Superior. |
| 1984 |
Participant in the CASM IV cruise and PISCES
submersible dives to the Southern Explorer Ridge in the northeast
Pacific (in Canadian territorial waters). Seventeen new massive
sulfide deposits were discovered and sampled; near-axial sediments
were recovered by gravity coring. |

| 1979-80 |
Invited scientist on Leg 70 of the Deep
Sea Drilling Project, in the eastern Pacific Ocean. This Leg carried
