GEMOC structure

THE ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE of GEMOC is designed for efficiency, flexibility and interaction.  The financial management operates within Macquarie University's Finance System and within Macquarie Research Limited for commercialised products, consulting and some strategic research projects.  The Teaching Program is incorporated into the teaching activities and strategies of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Macquarie to ensure that GEMOC interfaces in a positive way with the existing structures while retaining a clear identity and funding unit.

GEMOC has been reconfirmed as a Centre of Excellence within Macquarie University's Research and Research Teaching Management Plan allowing for ongoing appropriate staffing and support arrangements.  GEMOC's three main research foci have been formally designated as Macquarie University "Areas of Excellence".  These are:

  • Lithosphere and planetary evolution and metallogeny
  • Isotopic and global geochemistry
  • Paleomagnetism, geodynamics and geophysical modelling
