Ron Berry

Associate Professor Ron Berry is affiliated with the University of Tasmania's School of Natural Sciences, Department of Earth Sciences. His research focuses on structural geology, tectonics, and resource geoscience, with notable contributions to understanding regional metamorphism, provenance analysis of sedimentary rocks, and tectonic evolution of Tasmania. He has supervised multiple doctoral and master’s students, including work on geometallurgical applications and ore deposit characterization.

Notable funded projects include roles in the ARC Research Hub for Transforming the Mining Value Chain ($12.8M, 2015–2021) and CRC for Optimising Resource Extraction projects ($42,600–$122,660), addressing geometallurgical sorting and ore characterization. His research outputs span structural analysis, metamorphism, and resource geoscience.

He has advised on projects related to the Productora Cu-Au-Mo deposit in Chile and grade engineering strategies for low-grade copper deposits. His expertise bridges academic research with industrial applications in mineral processing and sustainable resource extraction.
