The Australian Geodynamics Cooperative Research Centre (AGCRC) is concerned with those aspects of the geodynamics of the Australian Tectonic Plate, including the upper mantle, that have had an impact on the formation and location of world-class mineral and hydrocarbon deposits. Their ultimate goal is to develop concepts, sciences and technologies that assist the Australian minerals and energy industry to explore and discover these deposits. Specifically, they are interested in the structural and tectonic settings and the geodynamic processes, including heat and fluid sources, pathways for fluid migration, and metamorphic and deformation history, that have resulted in the formation of world-class deposits. The AGCRC home page provides access to abstracts of their publications, information on their projects, and tools that they have developed. The tools include exploration models, map making tools (using their datasets), geophysical and tectonic maps produced by AGCRC, movies about the tectonic evolution of Australia, as well as products available for either direct purchase or as services from licensed, commercial agents.
