Funded Activity Summary

Tectonic drivers of extreme metamorphism in Eastern Indonesia. This project intends to investigate the tectonic drivers of (ultra-)high temperature metamorphism in eastern Indonesia. Subduction zones – where one of Earth's plates collapses beneath another – drive the formation of mountain belts and produce high pressure and high temperature metamorphic rocks. However, it is typically very difficult when investigating mature mountain belts to interpret how subduction was exactly involved. Eastern Indonesia is one of the few places where active subduction can be linked directly to recent mountain building. Better understanding of how complex subduction dynamics and how mountain belts form is intended to assist natural hazard assessment in earthquake-prone areas.
