About
Eytan Bos Orent obtained his BS in Geology from the University of Texas at Austin in 2019 and immediately afterward joined the Economic Geology program at the University of Arizona. He earned his MS in Geosciences in 2021 and his PhD in 2026. His research focuses on basin-related ore deposits (U, V, Cu, Ag, Mn) on the Colorado Plateau.

Project Description
Supervisor: Dr. Mark Barton
Project Title: Contrasting fluid systems associated with basin-related ore deposits
Much of Eytan's work is field-based, involving alteration mapping at multiple scales to unravel the spatial relationships between basinal fluids, ore deposits, geologic structures, and more. The results of his fieldwork are integrated with laboratory analyses such as U-Pb geochronology of carbonates, optical/electron microscopy, conventional stable isotopes (C, O), and in-situ trace element mapping in various minerals.
