Understanding ore deposits from an Earth systems perspective: Ore deposits are products of common natural processes, but they only form where these processes operate sequentially, constructively, and optimally. Omission or inefficiency of any process in the sequence can reduce or destroy the systems ore-forming potential. This research program aims to characterize and understand the full sequence of processes necessary for the formation of ore deposits (metallogeny), with focus on copper and gold, and to place these deposits in the context of large-scale natural systems such as plate tectonics, and in relation to Earths geological evolution over time.

从地球系统的角度理解矿床：矿床是常见的自然过程的产物，但它们只有在这些过程顺序地，建设性地和最佳地运作时才形成。序列中任何一个过程的遗漏或无效都可能降低或破坏系统的成矿潜力。该研究计划旨在表征和理解矿床形成（成矿学）所需的完整过程序列，重点是铜和金，并将这些矿床置于大规模自然系统的背景下，如板块构造，以及与地球地质演化的关系。
