Funded Activity Summary

Geodynamic evolution of the Banda Arc. The project will contribute to a better understanding of plate tectonic processes and will provide insights into the dynamics of the Indo-Australian plate. This information is fundamentally important for estimating seismic hazards and the potential for generating large magnitude earthquakes in Australia. Outcomes of this project will facilitate to unravel analogue tectonic systems that were active during the geological evolution of Australia (e.g. the Lachlan fold belt in eastern Australia), thus providing a new insight into the Australian environment. The project will also elucidate the nature of tectonic processes that are known to generate major ore deposits and is therefore likely to have important economic implications.
