>The Australian Crustal Research Centre (ACRC) is dedicated to the
>understanding the tectonic processes in the Earth's crust, by integrating
>field observations, geochronology, geochemistry, regional geophysical
>datasets, laboratory analogue experiments, and computer simulation. Four
>encompassing research programs have been established within the ACRC -
>Tectonics and Regional Geophysics; Geodynamic Modelling and Simulation;
>Volcanic, Magmatic and Geochemical Processes; and Ore Deposit Geoscience.
>
>The Centre is part of the School of Geosciences at the Clayton Campus of
>Monash University. The School is renowned for its high standards in teaching
>and research, with wide ranging research expertise in tectonics, structural
>geology, volcanology, geochemistry, geophysics, environmental geology,
>remote sensing, and palaeontology. As a co-member of the Victorian Institute
>of Earth and Planetary Sciences (VIEPS), added flexibility and a greater
>range of resources are available to postgraduate students of the School.
>
> Potential PhD research projects for 2005 include 3D visualisation and
>modeling of complex geological architecture and systems at scales ranging
>from ore-deposits to the craton-scale; Geophysical interpretation and
>forward modelling of trans-lithospheric shear zones; Integrated
>microstructural and textural studies involving in situ chemical analyses of
>selected minerals using hi-tech equipment (laser ablation ICP MS,
>microprobe, MC ICP MS); Numerical and analogue modelling of lithospheric
>and crustal process, including plate deformation and reconstructions;
>Geochemical, geophysical and structural characterisation of the Precambrian
>Earth with an emphasis on the Broken Hill, Gawler Ranges, Yilgarn and Mt Isa
>provinces of Australia; Geochemical and geophysical studies of unusual
>volcanic centres in the North Island of New Zealand and the Newer Volcanic
>Province in southern Australia; and Physical volcanology in Earth history:
>modern, ancient, applied, eruption styles and contributing factors,
>dispersal processes, tectonic significance.
>
>The university has built a comprehensive support network, designed to
>accommodate the diverse needs of international students. Graduates of Monash
>University have a reputation as independent learners, innovators and
>leaders, and so are widely sought after by international employers.
>
>Please send a letter of interest and your current curriculum vitae to Ms
>Megan Hough at the Australian Crustal Research Centre for further
>information and an application kit for postgraduate research scholarships.
>Interested parties please note that scholarship applications must be
>submitted by 31 October 2004. For specific project details, please visit
