Putting All Your EGGS in One Basket
"Effective mineral, energy and groundwater resource management and exploration rely on accurate geological maps. While geological maps of the surface exist and increase in resolution, maps of the subsurface are sparse, and the underpinning geological and geophysical constraints are disordered or non-existent. The Estimates of Geological and Geophysical Surfaces (EGGS) database seeks to enable robust subsurface geological mapping by establishing an ordered collection of precious geological and geophysical interpretations of the subsurface. EGGS stores the depth to geological boundaries derived from boreholes as well as interpretations of depth to magnetic top assessments, airborne electromagn...
Geology of Southwest Gondwana
This book focuses on the geological evolution of Southwest (SW) Gondwana and presents state-of-the-art insights into its evolution. It addresses the diachronic assembly of continental fragments derived from the break-up of the Rodinia supercontinent later amalgamated to build SW Gondwana during the Neoproterozoic–Cambrian transition, which on a global scale includes parts of present-day South America, Africa and Madagascar. The book presents 24 state-of-the-art reviews including the most crucial controversies. Most experienced scientists about the geology of SW Gondwana from Europe, Africa, South America and Australia present contributions on key areas addressing the interactions between t...
Dynamics of Plate Tectonics and Mantle Convection
Dynamics of Plate Tectonics and Mantle Convection, written by specialists in the field, gathers state-of-the-art perspectives on the dynamics of plate tectonics and mantle convection. Plate tectonics is a unifying theory of solid Earth sciences. In its initial form, it was a kinematic theory that described how the planet's surface is fragmented into several rigid lithospheric plates that move in relation to each other over the less viscous asthenosphere. Plate tectonics soon evolved to describe the forces that drive and resist plate movements. The Earth sciences community is now developing a new perspective that looks at plate tectonics and mantle convection as part of a single system. Why d...
Regional Geology and Mineral Systems of the Stavely Region, Western Victoria
"The Stavely Project is a collaboration between Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of Victoria. During 2014 fourteen pre-competitive stratigraphic drill holes were completed in the prospective Stavely region in western Victoria in order to better understand subsurface geology and its potential for a variety of mineral systems. The Stavely region hosts several belts of poorly-exposed Cambrian volcanic and intrusive rocks, visible largely only in aeromagnetic data, which have similarities to those found in modern subduction-related tectonic settings. Mineralisation associated with porphyry Cu-Au and volcanic-hosted massive sulphide mineral systems is known where these rocks are exp...
The Routledge Handbook of Critical Resource Geography
resource-exploitation dynamics are emphasized a single comprehensive volume that provides a systematic and rigorous overview of state-of-the-art critical-geographical scholarship on resources contributions from leading voices and emerging researchers who draw on diverse theoretical and methodological traditions and whose expertise spans a wide variety of resource sectors and world regions
Critical Minerals in Australia
"Critical minerals are pivotal to human society in industrialised and developing economies. Many critical minerals are irreplaceable inputs for technological and industrial advancements, especially renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, rechargeable batteries, consumer electronics, telecommunications, specialty alloys, and defence technologies. Critical minerals are metals, non-metals and mineral compounds that are economically important and are also subject to high risks of supply ..."--Online abstract.
Basement Architecture from the Pilbara Craton to the Aileron Province
"Crustal architecture places first-order controls on the distribution of mineral and energy resources. However, despite its importance, it is poorly constrained over much of northern Australia. Here, we present a full crustal interpretation of deep seismic reflection profile 18GA-KB1 that extends over 872 km from the Eo- to Mesoarchean Pilbara Craton to the Paleoproterozoic Aileron Province, transecting a range of stratigraphic and tectonic basement units, some of which are completely concealed by younger rocks. The seismic profile provides the first coherent image through this relatively poorly understood part of Australian geology and yields major new insights about the crustal architecture, geometry and definition of the different geological and seismic provinces and their boundaries..." -- Online abstract.
Data Integration for Greenfields Exploration
"It is increasingly recognised that, to maintain a sustainable pipeline of mineral resources in Australia, future discoveries will need to be made in areas obscured by more recent cover sequences. A major challenge to mineral exploration in covered frontiers is identifying new prospective fairways, and understanding and mapping important metallogenic processes at a range of scales to enable more effective targeting of exploration. Here, we present evidence for a completely buried corridor of interpreted high prospectivity-the East Tennant region-based on synthesis and integration of a diverse range of geoscientific datasets. Key indicators of the region's potential include lithospheric-scale...
