The overall rationale of TIGeR is to study Earth's dynamic evolution as recorded in the geotectonic, geochronologic, geodetic and geochemical records. Our multi-scale, multi-disciplinary approach, integrating the latest
technology with collection of basic field and laboratory data from many parts of the world (in association with our international collaborators), will allow synthesis of geological, geodetic and geochemical information on a truly global scale.
Our research objectives comprise a mix of continuous development of existing key programs, together with new initiatives that have evolved into targeted collaborative projects that harness the joint talents of the Geology, Geodesy and Geochemistry teams.
TIGeR is one of Curtin's strategic, high-impact Tier 1 centres and our aim is to remain at the forefront of the University's drive to provide high quality research opportunities to graduate
students, and to disseminate results that impact on the global geoscience community.
