physical aspects of the Earth. They examine the distribution of chemical elements in rocks and minerals, as well as the movement of these elements into soil and water systems.
Dr. Barnes has a long résumé of professional experience and special honors. Among these honors, he was a Guggenheim Fellow at Geochemistry Institute of the University of Göttingen, in Germany, 1966 to 1967, a Nobel Symposium Lecturer in Karlskoga, Sweden in1979,SeniorHumboldtPrize and Visiting Professor at the University of Munich in 1987, a Distinguished Professor of Geochemistry at Pennsylvania State University from 1990- 1997, an Honorary Professor and Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the University of Wales
from 1996-2001 and is currently, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Geochemistry at Pennsylvania State, since 1998. He was named Honorary Alumnus of the year in 2016.
Dr. Barnes is the author of six books: Uranium Prospecting, in 1956; Geochemistry of Hydrothermal Ore Deposits, 1967,1979,and1997editions; Hydrothermal Processes: The development of geochemical concepts in the latter half of the twentieth century, in 2015; andHydrothermalExperimental Techniques, in 1987. He is Fellow of the Geological Society of America and of the Mineralogical Society of America. Dr. Barnes has been awarded 12 endowed lectureships, four U.S. patents for novel scientific processes, including two 2013 patents for
the “Acid-Cure Slurry”, a simple, cost-effective method to control Acid Rock Drainage (ARD). ARD or acid mine drainage refers to the acidic water that is created when sulphide minerals are exposed to air and water and, through a natural chemical reaction, produce sulphuric acid.
He was also Director of the Ore Deposits Research Institute at The Pennsylvania State University for eight years. Geology of Ore Deposits is one of the few special periodicals devoted to metallic and nonmetallic mineral resources and the conditions of their formation and distribution. Ore deposits are minerals or an aggregate of minerals from which a valuable constituent, especially a metal, can be profitably mined or extracted.
