Audience: This one-day short course is aimed at geoscientists from both industry and academia who wish to gain a better understanding how the state-of-the-art geophysical, numerical and analogue modelling methods can be applied to better understand the evolution of Proterozoic basins, with the Greater McArthur basin as a case study.
Course Content: This course will provide findings from the ARC Linkage/MRIWA M554 Evolution of Proterozoic multistage rift Basins project. Researchers from the University of Sydney, Monash University, and the University of Western Australia will showcase their work, which include a variety of modelling techniques, for example: analogue, geophysical and numerical geodynamic modelling, to understand the evolution of Proterozoic basins from extension to inversion, with special emphasis on the Greater McArthur basin.
Proterozoic basins are essentially windows into the Earth’s early history, providing insights into the evolution of the planet’s crust and lithosphere. Modern modelling techniques continue to uncover new information, making these ancient geological formations invaluable for scientific research and resource exploration.
