    Abstract

    In order to improve our understanding of the relation between fluid-rock interactions and deformation, deep crustal rocks that show evidence of hydration reactions have been analyzed, using microchemical and microstructural analysis techniques. Monazite from the Reynolds Range, proved capable of recording hydrous melt evolution. The combination of monazite and apatite determined timing of shear zone activity in central Australia and the analyses of pyroxene showed its recrystallization was dependent on the fluid flux present.

    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.
