Evolution of Proterozoic multistage rift basins – key to mineral systems

该项目将通过将实验室实验构造学的最新进展与热机械数值、表面过程和地球物理模型相结合，为澳大利亚前沿沉积盆地的矿产行业提供一个新的量化和综合勘探框架。该项目将使用澳大利亚北部盆地作为天然实验室，研究沉积矿石系统开发中涉及的基本过程。该项目将与一支具有矿物和石油系统背景的专家团队一起，研究如何通过现代勘探技术使用多学科方法来检测它们。

This project will deliver a new quantitative and integrated exploratory framework for the mineral industry in Australia’s frontier sedimentary basins by integrating the latest advances in laboratory experimental tectonics with thermo-mechanical numerical, surface process and geophysical modelling. The project will use northern Australian basins as a natural laboratory to address the fundamental processes involved in the development of sedimentary ore systems. The project will investigate how they can be detected by modern exploration techniques using a multidisciplinary approach with a team of experts with backgrounds in mineral and petroleum systems.
