Researchers have discovered why #CriticalMinerals accumulate around the edge of continental cores. This info can be used to predict probable new locations for essential critical minerals. Supported by our ANU facility. @englishanu.bsky.social #NCRISimpact #NetZero micro.org.au/news/new-exp...
Check out our recent @Nature paper! We show how cratonic roots become enriched in metal sulfides by the interaction of carbonated silicate melts with the cratonic mantle. We show that carbonatite melts are reaction products, leaving sulfides behind. @petro-isra.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s415...
Sulfide-rich continental roots at cratonic margins formed by carbonated melts - Nature
Examination of the sulfur and copper contents of global cratonic peridotites combined with new high-pressure experiments shows that the migration of carbonated melts towards cratonic margins explains ...

OK, here’s a doozy🤯
What if I told you that, until very recently, some researchers could infer their grant outcome in ARC’s Research Management System (RMS) at least a month before official release?
Unbelievable, right?
(OK, this is the ARC, so not unbelievable😑)

Explore our latest experiments on nitrogen recycling in subduction zones. Our findings reveal that cold subduction zones struggle to effectively recycle nitrogen, resulting in its loss to the surface in a fluid phase.
