Resolution of the Pb-diffusion in monazite paradox using a high-temperature contact aureole environment

这一研究将加深我们对古山脉带随时间的热演化的理解。 澳大利亚地球科学家在这一领域的贡献得到国际承认，这项研究的结果将进一步加强我们对澳大利亚地壳演变的了解。 由于澳大利亚各地的许多矿床都位于古老的岩石中，记录矿化的时间与寄主岩石的热演化可能有助于预测这些环境中矿床的位置;每一个新的矿物发现都有助于澳大利亚及其社区未来的繁荣。

This research will enhance our understanding of the thermal evolution of ancient mountain belts through time. Australian geoscientists are recognized internationally for their contributions to this field and the result from this study will further enhance our understanding of the evolution of Australia's crust. Because numerous ore deposits throughout Australia are hosted in ancient rocks, documenting the timing of mineralization with respect to the thermal evolution of the host rocks may help to predict the location of mineral deposits in these settings; and each new mineral discovery contributes to the future prosperity of Australia and its communities.
