Biography
Patrick Hayman is a senior lecturer and coordinator of the Earth Science major at Queensland University of Technology. Upon completion of an MSc. degree, Pat worked for several diamond exploration and mining companies in Canada before moving to Australia to obtain his PhD. His research aim is to develop genetic models for improving successful exploration for minerals. Because volcanoes are associated with many ore minerals, Dr. Hayman's research focusses on physical volcanology (typically field-based) and includes other lab based techniques (especially geochronology, geochemistry and geochemical modelling) to address the research question. Pat has extensive field experience in kimberlites/diamonds and greenstone successions hosting orogenic gold, and has worked in VMS, komatiite-hosted Ni sulphide and Cu-porphyry systems, in sequences ranging in age from modern to the Archean, especially in Australia, Canada and West Africa. Pat’s research is supported by industry partners, geological surveys and the Australian Research Council. Pat also teaches an annual Volcanology and Resources short-course in Merimbula (NSW) designed primarily for industry geologist and postgraduate students.Personal details

Teaching
Units currently taught:
- Earth Materials (ERB205); Unit Coordinator: Earth Materials comprises the study of minerals and rocks which form the solid Earth. The study of Earth Materials is essential for understanding the structure and composition of the earth and the detailed processes of the rock cycle. Earth Materials forms the basis for petrology (the study of the genesis of rocks) and geochemistry.
- Earth's Mineral Resources (ERB306); Unit Coordinator: Australia's wealth and future economic growth depend largely on its natural resources. A mineral resource represents an enrichment of an element or mineral that can be mined, processed and rehabilitated with financial and social benefit. The natural enrichment of an element or mineral to the levels of a mineral resource requires specific and complex interplay of a variety of geological processes. Thus, mineral resource exploration, delineation and extraction require skilled application of basic geological concepts and an appreciation of social implications.
- Grand Challenges (SEB104): Resources and the Green Shift; Coordinator: Wide agreement amongst governments that we need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels for energy requires more metals, especially copper, nickel and iron, as well as the rare critical metals, such as Li, Nd, In and REEs. This unit covers the basics of how these types of mineral deposits form, and explores potential future sources for these metals, including recycling and asteroid mining.
