CODES – Centre for Ore Deposit and Earth Sciences
Program 4
MAGMATIC AND VOLCANIC PROCESSES
OBJECTIVE
This Program will research magma genesis and evolution, volcanology and the architecture of magmatic plumbing systems. Investigations of volcanic phenomena in subaerial and submarine settings will provide the geological framework for understanding alteration and mineralisation in volcanic terrains. Geochemical insights into magma fertility and the roles of mantle and crustal processes in magmatic-hydrothermal mineral systems will provide an improved understanding of magmatic, volcanic-hosted and magmatic-hydrothermal mineral systems.
