Mantle Melting Dynamics and the Influence of Recycled Components

这项提议直接关系到通过深部地球资源知识建设可持续发展澳大利亚的持续目标。我们对熔融和流体迁移过程了解得越多，我们就能更好地为资源勘探和减轻火山灾害的模型提供信息。铀系列同位素与地球最近(35000年)的历史有关--时间尺度经常被忽视。本提案中描述的地幔熔融的应用也可能直接应用于马努斯盆地和其他地方的金矿勘探。如果我们想要将刚刚过去的事情理解为我们星球近期未来的线索，我们就必须研究这些技术。

This proposal is directly concerned with the continuing aim of building a sustainable Australia through knowledge of deep earth resources. The more we know about the processes of melting and melt and fluid migration the better we will be able to inform models for resource exploration and volcanic hazard mitigation. Uranium series isotopes are relevant to the very recent history of the planet (< 350 000 years) - time scales which are often overlooked. Application to mantle melting as described in this proposal may also have direct application to gold exploration in the Manus basin and elsewhere. It is to these techniques we must look if we are to understand the immediate past as a clue to the immediate future of our planet.
