Deciphering the tectonic history of the Musgrave Block to assist mineral explorers and regional synthesis programs

在复杂的基底地形中有效的矿产勘探战略越来越依赖于综合的、数据丰富的构造模型。在这个项目中，我们将集中一个大型的多学科团队来开发澳大利亚中部马斯格雷夫区块演化的构造模型。这片巨大的、鲜为人知的地形占据了一个关键的结构位置，分隔了澳大利亚北部和南部的克拉通。通过约束地壳演化和建筑模型，该项目将支持这一极具前景的绿地地区未来的矿产勘探计划，并确定马斯格雷夫区块在澳大利亚元古代组装中的作用。

Effective mineral exploration strategies in complex basement terrains are increasingly reliant on integrated, data-rich, tectonic models. In this project we will focus a large multidisciplinary team to develop a tectonic model for the evolution of the Musgrave Block in central Australia. This large, poorly understood terrain occupies a critical structural location, separating the northern and southern Australian cratons. By constraining models of crustal evolution and architecture, the project will underpin future mineral exploration programs in this highly prospective greenfields region and define the role of the Musgrave Block in the assembly of Proterozoic Australia.
