Geologist Carves Out a Niche of His Own
John Guilbert '49
Upon graduating from Nobles in 1949, geologist and author DR. JOHN GUILBERT proudly claims he was "ready to take on the world." Since then, Guilbert has spent 55 fulfilling years doing just that.
During his career as Anaconda research geologist and then as a professor of economic geology at the University of Arizona, Guilbert and a colleague, David Lowell, developed an understanding of the geology of the huge "porphyry copper" deposit type.
In 1970 and thereafter, Guilbert and Lowell wrote a series of papers on the anatomy of porphyry copper deposits while studying Arizona's Kalamazoo copper deposit. Thus, their porphyry copper model was founded, which is defined on a website as the "universal template for explorers around the globe" in search of this particular type of copper deposit. Their papers redefined the way geologists are able to find copper, leading directly to the discovery of many of the world's largest copper orebodies.
"Little was known about [copper deposit types] in the 1950s," he said. "A lot of my success came from being in the right places all over the world at the right time." He also credits his book, The Geology of Ore Deposits, for putting him on the map.
Now retired, Guilbert still stays active as professor emeritus of economic geology at the University of Arizona. He is also the honorary chairman of Consolidated JABA Inc. (JABA), a Vancouver-based precious minerals exploration company, director of Liberty Star Gold, a copper-gold exploration company, a consultant, and serves on the boards of several educational and civic organizations in Tucson, Arizona.
He is the proudest of his family and two prestigious professional awards he received: the Society of Economic Geologists' (SEG) Penrose Gold Medal and the Society of Mining Engineers' Daniel Jackling Award.
His strong ties to Nobles resonate clearly as he talks about the people who most influenced his formative years: DAVE HORTON, SIDNEY EATON and ELIOT PUTNAM, to name a few. "My life started with an absolutely wonderful education at Nobles," he said.
From Nobles, Guilbert received his bachelor's from the University of North Carolina and his master's and PhD from the University of Wisconsin.
For the past 39 years, Guilbert has lived in Tucson, with his wife, Mary Clymer. The couple recently moved into a retirement home they designed for themselves.
Showing the Nobles bond, he added that any '49 Nobles graduates traveling to the area would be remiss if they did not drop by for a visit.
