About
Adeline Dutrieux is a leading deep-sea geologist whose research bridges marine mineral resources and seafloor hydrothermal systems. Her work focuses on the geological fate of seafloor massive sulphides, particularly at the TAG hydrothermal field on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where she investigates how these deep-sea mineral deposits evolve over time. Her most-cited paper (2019, 83 citations) provides critical insights into the long-term stability and resource potential of these deposits, which are increasingly viewed as vital sources of metals for low-carbon technologies. Dutrieux’s research addresses the pressing global demand for raw materials needed to enable a sustainable, high-technology society, while also examining the environmental and geological constraints on deep-sea mining. Her contributions are shaping our understanding of how seafloor mineral systems form, degrade, and could be responsibly managed. By integrating field observations with geochemical and geophysical data, Dutrieux is helping to define the future of marine resource exploration and the balance between technological progress and ocean conservation.
