Hui Qing Huang

Hui Qing Huang is a researcher at James Cook University, specializing in Economic Geology, Geochemistry, and Petrology. Her work focuses on mineral exploration, trace element analysis, and tectonic implications in regions like the Lachlan Orogen, Andean Cordillera, and West Kunlun Belt.

Her research employs advanced techniques such as LA-ICP-MS for U-Pb dating and magnetite trace element characterization to develop proximity indicators for ore deposits. Key projects include studies on Cu–Au porphyry systems, gold mineralization, and critical minerals in Australia, Chile, and China.

• Recent Trends: Integration of petrography (e.g., McPhillamys gold deposit), trace element discrimination (e.g., cassiterite diagrams), and isotopic analysis (e.g., zircon Hf-O studies).
• Subfields: Porphyry mineralization, intrusion-related gold, crustal anatexis, asthenospheric-lithospheric interaction, and oceanic arc dynamics.
