Metalliferous Sediments of the Red Sea

The Zn- and Cu-rich sediments of the Atlantis-II-Deep represent an outstanding modern analogue of sediment-hosted base metal deposits in the geological record. In this project, we investigate the mechanisms of metal precipitation in the Red Sea to inform genetic models for ancient ore deposits.
