The aim of the group is to research topics of importance to Australia's geological environment with outside collaborators, using mineralogical and petrological expertise.
Projects include:
- investigations into the origin of gemstones in the Australian/Asian region
- studies of pumice layers in Aboriginal archaeological sites around Sydney
- Raman Laser microprobe identification of zeolite minerals.
Several other projects on landforms and geological conservation sites are projected for future development.
