Funded Activity Summary
Impact craters as probes into planetary crusts and prospect for resources. The project aims to investigate the structure of earth’s crust in Australian impact crater sites, impact crater morphologies on Mars, and expand our understanding of the origins of our solar system. The project could transfer knowledge from exploration to exploitation at impact crater sites, on and off Earth. The outcomes include placing constraints on potential economic deposits (such as precious metals, hydrocarbons, water) in Australia and the presence of water on Mars. The project could provide significant national economic benefits when applied in practice to discovering resources hidden in the Australian cratering record. Internationally, Australia would participate in future space exploration endeavours.Funded Activity Details
