Dr. Zeynep Cansu is an accomplished researcher specializing in economic geology and isotope geochemistry. Her work primarily focuses on understanding the genesis and characteristics of various mineral deposits, particularly barite, lead-zinc, and rare earth element (REE) deposits in Türkiye. Through comprehensive isotopic (S, O, Sr, Pb) and trace element analyses, Dr. Cansu investigates fluid sources, mineralization processes, and the tectonic controls on ore formation. Her research contributes significantly to the knowledge base of Türkiye's metallogeny, classifying deposits based on their distinct geological settings. Her expertise encompasses field geology, petrography, and advanced geochemical techniques, providing crucial insights into the complex interplay of geological processes that lead to the formation of valuable mineral resources.
