Funded Activity Summary

Mantle Heterogeneity: an exploration of the melting behaviours of compositional heterogeneities in the Earth's Mantle. This research represents an important national benefit in the provision of a valuable opportunity for further training and development of a very talented young earth scientist through request for an Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship. This is of particular importance in an era when many potential and actual research leaders are leaving the country for overseas positions. In addition, Australia's long-term international leadership in high pressure experimental investigations of the earth will be enhanced as a result of the outcomes of the proposed research, which will resolve fundamental and currently hotly debated issues concerned with our planet's geochemical evolution through geological time.
