Project aim
Although oceanic crust covers about 60% of the Earth, relatively little is known of its geology and the processes that have created it. Macquarie Island represents a unique subaerial exposure of the seafloor, and an exceptional environment for active study and research into the ocean crust. We plan to utilise geological and geophysical techniques to help us better understand the lithological complexity and evolution of the oceanic crust.
