651-4024-00L	Ore Deposits II	3 credits	2G	C. A. Heinrich, T. Driesner
Abstract	Magmatic-hydrothermal ore formation from plate-tectonic scale to fluid inclusions, with a focus on porphyry-Cu-Au deposits, epithermal precious-metal deposits and granite-related Sn-W deposits
Objective	Recognise and interpret ore-forming processes in hand samples. Understand the string of processes that contribute to metal enrichment mainly along active plate margins, from lithosphere dynamics through magma evolution, fluid separation, subsolidus fluid evolution, and alteration and mineral precipitation by interaction of magmatic fluids with country rocks and the hydrosphere. Understand connection to active volcanism and geothermal processes. Insight into modern research approaches including firld mapping, analytical techniques and modelling in preparation for MSc projects.
Content	Detailed program of contents will be updated yearly and will be made available in the first class and by email distribution to those who subscribe to the course
Lecture notes	Short notes are distributed in class
Literature	Extensive reference list distributed with course notes
Prerequisites / Notice	Builds on BSc course "Rohstoffe der Erde" and MSc course "Ore Deposits I", as essential introductions to the principles of hydrothermal ore formation in sedimentary basins and to orthomagmatic metal enrichment in layered intrusions. Reflected Light Microscopy and Ore Deposit Practical, coordinated with Ore Deposits I, is recommended but not essential. BSc students intending to study the module Mineral Resources and Technical Mineralogy in their MSc program should take both courses "Ore Deposits I and II" during their MSc studies, not as elective credits during the BSc.
651-4036-00L	Field Excursion Module Mineral Resources Only for Earth Sciences MSc. Geography and Earth System Sciences students UZH may attend this field course at full costs (no subsidies). Number of participants limited to 20.	3 credits	6P	A. Quadt Wykradt-Hüchtenbruck, T. Driesner, C. A. Heinrich
Abstract	Excursion to areas of active and past mining activity and practical industry courses. Mapping relations between regional/local geology and ore deposit formation in the field and in active mines. Insight into the work of mine and exploration geologists, including geophysical measurements, geochemical data handling, economic evaluation, etc.
Objective	Understand the regional and local geology as a framework for ore deposit formation. Discuss actual ore deposits and their position within this framework during mine visits. Study similarities and differences between processes leading to the formation of different ore deposit types. Obtain insight into challenges linking economic geology and mining with social and environmental constraints.
Prerequisites / Notice	Course plans changing through the years. Subscribe through MyStudies once; depending on the rolling 2-year program, it is possible to obtain credits by combination of several excursions and courses. Students registering for the course confirm having read and accepted the terms and conditions for excursions and field courses of D-ERDW https://www.ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/special-interest/erdw/department/dokumente/studium/exkursionen/AGB_ERDW_Exkursionen_en.pdf
651-4082-00L	Fluids and Mineral Deposits	2 credits	1S	C. A. Heinrich, T. Driesner, B. Lamy-Chappuis, O. Laurent, A. Quadt Wykradt-Hüchtenbruck, J. P. Weis
Abstract	Presentations and literature discussions on current reserch topics in fluid processes and mineral deposit research.
Objective	Provide a deeper understanding in the selected research fields on hydrothermal processes and ore deposit formation. This is achieved by literature work as well as discussions of current BSc, MSc and PhD projects, including the MSc Thesis Defense
Content	Topics of hydrothermal geochemistry, fluid flow and ore formation
860-0015-00L	Supply and Responsible Use of Mineral Resources I	3 credits	2G	C. A. Heinrich, F. Brugger, S. Hellweg, C. Karydas, B. Wehrli
Abstract	Students critically assess the economic, social, political, and environmental implications of extracting and using energy resources, metals, and bulk materials along the mineral resource cycle for society. They explore various decision-making tools that support policies and guidelines pertaining to mineral resources, and gain insight into different perspectives from government, industry, and NGOs.
Objective	Students will be able to: - Explain basic concepts applied in resource economics, economic geology, extraction, processing and recycling technologies, environmental and health impact assessments, resource governance, and secondary materials. - Evaluate the policies and guidelines pertaining to mineral resource extraction. - Examine decision-making tools for mineral resource related projects. - Engage constructively with key actors from governmental organizations, mining and trading companies, and NGOs, dealing with issues along the mineral resource cycle.
Prerequisites / Notice	Bachelor of Science, Architecture or Engineering, and enrolled in a Master's or PhD program at ETH Zurich. A half-semester course offered from February 20th to April 26th. Students must be enrolled in this course in order to enrol in the case study module course 860-0016-00 Supply and Responsible Use of Mineral Resources II.
860-0016-00L	Supply and Responsible Use of Mineral Resources II Number of participants limited to 12. The students must be enrolled in 860-0015-00 Supply and Responsible Use of Mineral Resources I. The course is limited to 12 participants, and the students will compose two teams of mixed background and expertise. First priority will be given to students enrolled in the Master of Science, Technology, and Policy Program. These students must confirm their participation by February 8th by registration through MyStudies. Other graduate students interested in enrolling will be placed onto a waiting list when registering through MyStudies and will be provided with confirmation after February 8th	3 credits	2U	B. Wehrli, F. Brugger, A. Gilli, C. A. Heinrich, C. Karydas, N. Lefebvre
Abstract	Students integrate their knowledge of mineral resources and technical skills to frame and investigate a commodity-specific challenge faced by countries involved in resource extraction. By own research they evaluate possible policy-relevant solutions, engaging in interdisciplinary teams coached by tutors and experts from natural social and engineering sciences.
Objective	Students will be able to: - Integrate, and extend by own research, their knowledge of mineral resources from course 860-0015-00, in a solution-oriented team with mixed expertise - Apply their problem solving, and analytical skills to critically assess, and define a complex, real-world mineral resource problem, and propose possible solutions. - Summarize and synthesize published literature and expert knowledge, evaluate decision-making tools, and policies applied to mineral resources. - Document and communicate the findings in concise group presentations and a report.
Prerequisites / Notice	Prerequisite is 860-0015-00 Supply and Responsible Use of Mineral Resources I. Limited to 12 participants. First priority will be given to students enrolled in the Master of Science, Technology, and Policy Program. These students must confirm their participation by February 12th by registration through MyStudies. We will try to accommodate all other interested graduate students, however you will be placed onto a waiting list when registering through MyStudies and will be provided with confirmation shortly after February 12th.
