Optimising the use of geophysical data for modelling the Australian crust

该项目旨在确定地球物理方法的最佳使用，以建立澳大利亚地壳的四维模型。这些模型提供了一个地区的构造历史的理解，从而其矿产潜力。矿产资源大多是在地下发现的，需要地球物理数据来确定其位置。该项目将联合收割机在地质不确定性建模方面的最新发展与为定位矿化区而获得的数据相结合。这些成果将有助于指导澳大利亚政府的政策，利用公开的数据集，为公司进行的矿产勘探提供基础，并得到研究机构的支持。

This project aims to determine the optimal use of geophysical methods to model the Australian crust in four dimensions. These models provide an understanding of the tectonic history of a region and thus its mineral potential. Mineral resources are mostly being found undercover, requiring geophysical data to locate them. This project will combine recent developments in modelling geological uncertainty with data acquired for locating zones of mineralisation. The outcomes will help guide Australian government policy to draw on publicly-available datasets that provide a basis for mineral exploration performed by companies, and supported by research institutions.
