Funded Activity Summary

Magmatic processes, volatiles and ore formation. A major current source of Australia's export wealth derives from mining of gold and copper ores. Many of our largest ore deposits, such as those at Mt Isa and Broken Hill, formed in paleo- environments equivalent to the active submarine volcanic arcs which we are proposing to study. Modern systems yield the vital clues to explore intelligently for fossil equivalents. We propose a two-pronged approach in world-renowned analytical and experimental laboratories to understand active processes that will guide experimental simulations under controlled conditions. Results are critical for national economic advantage and the maintenance of Australian Earth science in the forefront of global research effort.
