Matthew Steele-MacInnis is a professor of geology at the University of Alberta whose research focuses on geologic processes that involve fluids, especially formation of mineral deposits. Matthew is a Fellow of the Mineralogical Society of America, and has been a recipient of the Hisashi Kuno award from the American Geophysical Union; a CAREER award from the US National Science Foundation; the Young Scientist Award from the Mineralogical Association of Canada; and the SGA Young Scientist Award from Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits.
Matthew’s recent research explores novel ore-forming fluids that drive concentration of critical minerals, with emphasis on rare-earth elements in iron-oxide apatite deposits and carbonatites, and lithium in pegmatites. Much of this work involves detailed analysis of fluid and melt inclusions.
