Title
Fluxes at divergent plate Boundary Environments Analyzed in Time and Space
General information
Characterising fluxes at divergent plate boundaries since the Precambrian Metals are increasingly used globally in modern everyday technologies. Responsible exploration and exploitation of mineral resources in the terrestrial and potentially also in the marine realm are necessary to ensure the sustainable supply of these critical metals. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the FluxBEATS project will provide a fundamental view to this by creating a doctoral network in Earth sciences. Many of the mined metal deposits are related to divergent plate boundary environments of different ages, starting from the very early stages of our planet’s evolution to today. Leveraging integrated models of elemental fluxes at divergent plate boundaries, FluxBEATS seeks to understand the geological and environmental processes from the early Earth to the present.
