Biography & Research Interests

Jarred is an economic geologist at the MBMG studying critical minerals. He has studied the conditions of formation for a polymetallic sulfide vein system outside of Deer Lodge, MT and an eroded portion of a shallow epithermal system in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, Yellowstone National Park. He enjoys unraveling the mysteries of how complex deposits have changed through time by using clues in the chemical signatures and complex textures unique to the deposit.
