Martin Reich
Universidad de Chile
Martin Reich is renowned for his innovative contributions to geochemistry, advancing the understanding of planetary-scale processes that control the formation of mineral resources, elemental and isotopic cycles, and their link to global climate change. His work spans macro-scale geological processes to atomic and nanoscale fluid-mineral interactions, offering profound insights into ore-forming mechanisms. His research bridges large-scale geological phenomena with nanoscale processes that shape ore deposits over millions of years. Beyond research, he has profoundly influenced education and mentorship, guiding over twenty graduate students and seven postdocs from diverse nationalities. His commitment to fostering international collaboration has given students valuable exposure to South America’s geological diversity.
