Funded Activity Summary

A new approach to understanding the mechanisms and deep crustal controls of continental rifting. This research will directly examine the northern plate boundary of Australia, providing analogues for rift-related crustal processes that occurred throughout ancient Australia, consistent with Priority Goal 6 (Developing Deep Earth Resources) in the Designated National Research Priority Area: "An Environmentally Sustainable Australia". The scientific innovation represented by this project will help to maintain the leading position of Australian scientists in examining these issues. This project will be of direct relevance to energy exploration along Australia's passive margins (oil and gas) and will provide better constraints on the rifting process that will aid in our understanding of rift-related metallogenesis.
