The Story
Hutchinson is responsible for the concept of exhalative ore deposits which became a successful model in exploring massive sulphide deposits in rock strata around the world. The model indirectly but correctly predicts that massive sulphides should be found around hot fluid vents on the sea floor. He has won numerous awards and medals.
