Carbon and Hydrogen in Melts and Fluids in Planetary Interiors

澳大利亚社会将受益于在出版的地球科学中广泛使用的高影响力研究的所有权。这项研究定义了太阳系内富含硅酸盐的物质（类地行星、岩石卫星、陨石）的熔化行为。这项研究将用于解释火星样品，并将有助于确保澳大利亚实验室参与21世纪太阳系的研究，因为它们在了解高压和不同氧化状态下的火山活动和熔化行为方面发挥着主导作用。该研究将解决地球资源可持续性方面的国家优先事项，即澳大利亚矿产资源形成的基础知识。

The Australian community will benefit by the ownership of widely used high impact research in published earth science. This research defines the melting behaviour of silicate-rich materials (terrestrial planets, rocky-moons, meteorites) within the solar system. The research will be required for interpretation of Martian samples and will help to ensure that Australian laboratories participate in 21st Century investigations of the Solar System by virtue of their leading roles in understanding volcanism and melting behaviour at high pressures and under variable oxidation states. The research will address a national priority in sustainability of earth resources i.e. knowledge underpinning formation of Australian mineral resources.
