Integrating deep-earth and surface processes for frontier-basin exploration

众所周知，地幔对流对盆地演化有着深远的影响，下一步将是量化这种关系，并提供使这些概念适用于勘探的科学。为此，我们将开发一个工作流程，将板块重建软件与地幔对流建模联系起来，首次系统地将板块运动、地幔对流和沉积历史联系起来，用于前沿盆地规模的应用。我们将把这些新兴技术应用于北极边境地区资源勘探和澳大利亚大陆盆地的演变。

It is well-known that mantle convection has a profound influence on basin evolution, and the next step will be to quantify this relationship and provide the science that will make these concepts applicable to exploration. To do this, we will develop a workflow to link plate-reconstruction software with the mantle convection modelling to link plate motions mantle convection and the history of sedimentation systematically for the first time for frontier basin-scale applications. We will apply these emerging technologies to the evolution of basins in the Arctic borderlands frontier for resource exploration and on the Australian continent.
