Current higher degree research projects include studies investigating  tectonic and metallogenic characteristics of mineralised terranes,
seismic signatures and mineral systems, and structural controls on mineralisation.

Projects are usually carried out in collaboration with exploration and mining companies and/or with government geoscience organisations.
