Bruce was born in Vancouver, Canada and obtained his BSc (1979) at the University of British Columbia, Canada, and a MSc (1983) and PhD (1987) from Dartmouth College, USA. His Masters research was on the metallic trace element geochemistry of volcanic gas from active volcanoes in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. His PhD thesis was on the geology and mineralogy of a silver-rich, epithermal vein deposit in Mexico. After a post-doc at Dartmouth investigating a lead-zinc deposit in Argentina he arrived in Tasmania in 1988 to undertake further postdoctoral research on the Hellyer deposit on the West Coast.
To date Bruce has supervised 23 Honours, 23 Masters and 16 PhD students and published over 60 refereed papers in international journals.
