This project investigates how the Earth's interior (the mantle) flows near edges of tectonic plates as these plates sink into the mantle. This is important because these flows have been crucial in shaping the Southwest Pacific region bordering Australia and might be responsible for the formation of some of the largest volcanoes on Earth.

这个项目研究了当板块沉入地幔时，地球内部（地幔）如何在构造板块边缘附近流动。这一点很重要，因为这些流动对形成与澳大利亚接壤的西南太平洋地区至关重要，并可能是地球上一些最大火山形成的原因。
