Funded Activity Summary
Modern-Style Subduction Reflected in the 2.0 Billion Year Old East African Eclogites. Plate tectonics is the crustal expression of the dynamic Earth, and has been so for the past 2 billion years (Ga). As the link between the deep Earth, the hydrosphere and the atmosphere, plate tectonics is fundamental to life on Earth: it is what stands us apart from our planetary neighbours. Yet, plate tectonics may not have existed in the same form for the first half of the planet's life. This project will 1) increase our understanding of the Earth at the dawn of plate tectonics and foster community knowledge of the evolving Earth; 2) address the fundamental nature of the Earth at the time of much Australian ore formation, thus assisting in deep Earth resource exploration.Funded Activity Details
