Optimising the use of geophysical data for modelling the Australian crust

该项目旨在确定地球物理方法在四个维度上对澳大利亚地壳进行建模的最佳方法。这些模式有助于了解一个地区的构造历史，从而了解其矿产潜力。矿产资源大多是秘密发现的，需要地球物理数据来定位。该项目将把地质不确定性建模的最新发展与为定位矿化带而获得的数据结合起来。研究结果将有助于指导澳大利亚政府制定政策，利用公开可用的数据集，为公司进行的矿产勘探提供基础，并得到研究机构的支持。

This project aims to determine the optimal use of geophysical methods to model the Australian crust in four dimensions. These models provide an understanding of the tectonic history of a region and thus its mineral potential. Mineral resources are mostly being found undercover, requiring geophysical data to locate them. This project will combine recent developments in modelling geological uncertainty with data acquired for locating zones of mineralisation. The outcomes will help guide Australian government policy to draw on publicly-available datasets that provide a basis for mineral exploration performed by companies, and supported by research institutions.
