Jordi Tritlla Cambra

Investigador, Geología y geoquímica de fluidos corticales, Instituto de Geociencias de Barcelona (Geo3Bcn – CSIC)

Soy geólogo y geoquímico con 36 años de experiencia en investigación, docencia y consultoría. Tengo amplia experiencia en el estudio de yacimientos minerales (MVT, SEDEX, VMS, IOCG, Skarns, Hg-Sb, ofiolitas), diagénesis de carbonatos lacustres alcalinos; y fluidos corticales incluida la reconstrucción de paleofluidos PVTx (configuraciones compresivas y extensionales), incluyendo sistemas geotérmicos actuales e hidrógeno nativo.
