Paul Stenhouse, of The Australian National University, is looking for links between the twists and turns in the fractures and the amount of economic minerals deposited there by water.
The experience of doing a PhD at RSES has been fully immersive. I have completed every aspect of my research project in-house using RSES resources. Sample collection, analysis, and data modeling have all been done using state-of-the-art equipment, and the technical support I received while learning the ropes was fantastic.
