MRIWA TECH TALKS – Evolution of Proterozoic Multistage Rift Basins
Professor Mark Jessell
MRIWA Project M0554 – Evolution of Proterozoic Multistage Rift Basins
In this instalment of MRIWA’s popular Tech Talk series, Professor Jessell will share details from MRIWA Project M0554 – Evolution of Proterozoic Multistage Rift Basins.
Bringing together advanced geophysical interpretation and dynamic modelling of geological processes, this project has explored how ancient crustal sutures have guided the formation, evolution, and mineral fertility of the deep Proterozoic sedimentary basins covering large areas of the North Australian Craton – unlocking insights into why this region hosts world class copper and gold systems.
Whether your motivation is mineral exploration, tectonic research, or just a fascination with Earth’s hidden architecture, this evening conversation with Professor Jessell in the relaxed surroundings of the Long Neck Brewery, East Perth will offer fascinating new insights into the long-lasting legacy of lithospheric structure on the disposition of Western Australia’s mineral endowment.
