RB 55/00006;Amdel 00126 Accessory minerals of South Australian granites.
The purpose of the work described was to compare and contrast the petrography, accessory minerals, and absolute ages of 25 granitic and allied rock samples collected from widely scattered localities in South Australia. The processes that are...-

RB 2010/00008 Age of deposition and provenance of Palaeoproterozoic basins on north-eastern Eyre Peninsula : constraints from SHRIMP U-Pb geochronology.
Two basin systems in north-eastern Eyre Peninsula comprising Palaeoproterozoic metasedimentary and volcanic successions are described in terms of rock age and provenance. The older system comprises the Myola Volcanics and the Broadview Schist, which...-

Roopena West. Annual reports to licence full surrender, for the period 1/10/1993 to 9/3/2000.
Infill aeromagnetic and ground gravity surveys undertaken approximately 50 km west of Port Augusta were followed by an IP survey and lag sampling. Anomalous Cu and Au values were returned, but only a minimal IP response was recorded. Regolith mapping...-

RB 2007/00015 Geochronology of the Gawler Craton, South Australia.
Geochronology enables us to determine the age of rocks and minerals. The variety of isotopic geochronological techniques give complementary information on, for example, the timing of igneous or metamorphic crystallisation, as is often the case for the...-

RB 2012/00019 Geochemistry of pre-1570 Ma mafic magmatism within southern Australia: implications for possible tectonic settings and timing of major mineralisation events in South Australia.
Geochemical and isotopic data from mantle-derived mafic rocks provide important constraints on our understanding of the composition and evolution of the lithosphere through time. Since the lithosphere is sensitive to tectonic processes such as...-
