Stefanie Brueckner teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Geochemistry, Aqueous and Environmental Geochemistry, and Economic Geology. These courses provide basic and advanced principles in geochemistry and economic geology and focus on processes through geologic.
Active research involves: (1) genesis of hydrothermal ore deposits; (2) geochemistry and mineral chemistry of mineral deposits with special focus on metamorphosed, precious metal-bearing hydrothermal deposits; (3) mineralogy and mineral textures of ore minerals and silicates; (4) use of micro-analytical techniques (SEM, EPMA, (LA-)ICP-MS, SIMS) for mineralogical and metallurgical applications in research and industry; and (5) application of geochemical and mineral data in order to constrain the genesis of mineral deposits and to give indications for their tectonic setting.- Pilote, J.-P., Piercey, S.J., Brueckner, S.M., and Grant, D. 2016.
