Petrology | Mineralogy | Critical Minerals
Anton Kutyrev
Petrologist and mineralogist at the University of the Witwatersrand
I work on layered intrusions, chromitites, platinum-group elements, and isotope geochemistry. My research moves between field geology, petrography, microanalysis, and modelling.
I have worked across South Africa, Wales, the USA, and Kamchatka, and I am especially interested in the point where a landscape-scale problem becomes a mineral-scale clue.

Current position and profile
Current position
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, School of Geosciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. Current work focuses on critical minerals in layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions and Bushveld chromitites, with emphasis on Ni-Cu-PGE systems, chromitites, and Critical Zone petrogenesis.
Research profile
Research spans layered intrusions, chromitites, platinum-group minerals, arc systems, melt-rock interaction, isotope geochemistry, and modelling, combining fieldwork, petrography, mineral chemistry, microanalysis, and thermodynamic approaches across South Africa, Wales, the USA, and Kamchatka.
