Zircon wouldn’t lie about its age, right? 🤔
Our experiments reveal #zircon modified by melt can become a hot mess overnight & that U-Pb ages are potentially meaningless! Dang! 😬

Stoked to have been awarded a #DECRA#DE25 fellowship where I'll look at the interplay of tectonics and climate on critical minerals in deep time. Grateful to my mentors, collaborators and the small but mighty geo community in Tas for helping me get here! @UTAS_
Professor Joanne Whittaker, @DrRebeccaC and Dr Andrew Flies (@wildimmunity) have been named Future Fellows by @arc_gov_au, securing funding for projects covering submarine volcanoes, exploring beneath Antarctic ice, and Tasmanian devil vaccines: https://t.co/E3IzaRuFjc
The three day Critical and Strategic Metals Symposium will bring together experts from academia, industry and government to discuss the latest research, opportunities and challenges in the field.

Tune in to this week’s episode as we chat with expert guest @geoSheree and explore the link between plate tectonics and ore deposits, and how the processes involved in these have changed throughout Earth’s history! 🌍💎✨

Today we recorded the final two episodes from the @ThatsScienceTAS ‘Geoscience mini-series’ with the amazing Dr Indrani Mukherjee from @UNSW and Dr Sheree Armistead (@geoSheree) from @Sciences_UTAS! I’m so proud of this mini-series, make sure you tune in over the next month! 🎙️
I have an awesome honours project available for next year at @UTAS_ investigating 'Tasmanian Snowball Earth events and links to mineralisation'. Feel free to get in touch for more info or check out the description (and other available projects) here: https://t.co/24Fe0eAYNb
Great to see discussion on expanding the critical minerals list in Aus. We're going to need a lot more than what's on the official list to make the renewable energy technology needed to achieve net zero, especially Copper and Nickel https://t.co/BH1w4O13s9
Meet Dr Lejun Zhang - an economic geologist at @utas_ 🧗🏾
He studies the formation process of ore deposits and helps to develop efficient exploration tools that contribute to a more sustainable minerals and resource industry.
Awesome work Lejun!

Proterozoic mineralisation potential in rocky Cape element of Tasmania (far west!) with @geoSheree - discussion on an area with very little data on potential mineralisation, and some promising results! #AESC2023
