Partial melting in natural metal-silicate and silicate systems: rheological and geochemical implications for the Earth and other planets

了解流体和熔体如何在地壳中迁移，对于预测重要的矿物、金属和石油的浓缩程度至关重要。因此，了解流体-岩石系统有助于建立一个环境可持续的澳大利亚(研究优先事项1)。通过使用动态实验来加深我们对渗透网络的了解，是研究自然演化的地壳系统对不断变化的物理和化学条件作出反应时它们的发展的一种创新方式。因此，这项提议还直接关系到通过深部地球资源知识建设一个可持续发展的澳大利亚的持续目标。

Understanding how fluid and melts migrate through the Earth's crust is vital to predicting how important minerals, metals and oil can be concentrated. Understanding fluid-rock systems therefore contribute to an environmentally sustainable Australia (Research Priority 1). Furthering our knowledge of permeable networks through the use of dynamic experiments is an innovative way to study their development within naturally evolving crustal systems as they respond to changing physical and chemical conditions. Thus, this proposal is also directly concerned with the continuing aim of building a sustainable Australia through knowledge of deep Earth resources.
