Funded Activity Summary

Volatile recycling at the crust-mantle interface: Evidence from halogens and noble gases in deep-crustal fluids. 1) The technique proposed for this study is of proven interest to the mineral exploration industry. This project will: i) increase knowledge of the deep-crustal fluids often implicated in giant hydrothermal ore deposits; and ii) develop laser ablation, which will increase the techniques applicability to Australia's oldest ore deposits. These outcomes will further benefit the mineral exploration industry. 2) The experimental data can be applied to testing the long-term storage of CO2 by geo-sequestration. 3) The proposed research is extremely topical and will be presented at international conferences and in high impact journals raising the profile of Australian science.
