RB 2006/00008 Proterozoic geology of islands in southern Spencer Gulf, southern Gawler Craton
An emplacement age of 1497 ± 38 Ma for the felsic Spilsby Suite exposed on islands in southern Spencer Gulf is anomalously young with respect to magmatism elsewhere within the Gawler Craton, and is approximately 75 to 90 million years younger than the...-

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...-
