Tectonics and Earth Resources

TER is the Tectonics and Earth Resources research group at the University of Newcastle.

In broadest terms, our research examines the geological processes that form the physical environment in which we live. This research is achieved within the plate tectonic framework enabling the formation and dispersal of continents. We aim to identify specific tectonic settings and understand tectonic processes, in order to better understand the growth of the Australian continent and the formation/location of resources undercover.
