    Abstract

    Basin development and magmatism on the southwestern Australian margin are profoundly affected by continental breakup. Before and after breakup, sedimentary basins experienced regime switches in: fluvial-dominated to paralic sedimentation; paleo-drainage and provenance from south–north to east–west, and; locally heterogeneous subsidence and exhumation driven by tectonic events to more regionally homogeneous subsidence and exhumation driven predominantly by epeirogenesis. The breakup of eastern Gondwana resulted in coeval magmatism, driven by the Kerguelen mantle plume.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
