Our MinEx CRC Publication Spotlight showcases peer-reviewed and publicly available scientific publications from our research teams.

This publication explores the geological history of the Petermann Orogen in central Australia, focusing on how rocks were deformed and cooled during the Ediacaran–Cambrian period. By applying advanced dating and temperature analysis techniques, the study mapped variations in cooling patterns across the region.

The results show that natural heat production within the crust and differences in how deeply rocks were exhumed both played key roles in shaping the orogen’s evolution.
