The early evolution of the Earth system from multiple sulfur isotope records of sediments and seafloor mineral systems

这个项目解决了地球系统的早期演化问题，这是地球科学中最重要的问题之一。它将使用澳大利亚独特的岩石记录和分析技术，与领先的国际研究人员合作在澳大利亚开发。国家研究优先领域‘一个环境可持续的澳大利亚：开发深部地球资源’将通过开发更好的太古代海底金属矿床勘探模式而受益。学生将获得对早期地球系统、矿床、稳定同位素和过渡金属地球化学的高水平了解，这些知识直接适用于理论和应用研究以及矿产勘探。

This project addresses the early evolution of the Earth system that is one of the most important questions in Earth Sciences. It will use Australia's unique rock record and analytical techniques developed in Australia in collaboration with leading international researchers. The National Research Priority area 'An environmentally sustainable Australia: developing deep Earth resources' will benefit through the development of better exploration models for Archaean submarine metal deposits. Students will obtain a high level understanding of the early Earth system, ore deposits, stable isotope and transition metal geochemistry, which are directly applicable in both pure and applied research and mineral exploration.
