GEMOC ARC National Key Centre

GEMOC structure 

THE ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE of GEMOC is designed for efficiency, flexibility and interaction.  The financial management operates within Macquarie University's Finance System.  The Teaching Program is incorporated into the teaching activities and strategies of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Macquarie and the Department of Geology at ANU to ensure that GEMOC interfaces in a positive way with the existing structures while retaining a clear identity and funding unit.  The Director was also Head of the Geology discipline (and Geology and Geophysics through 1998) at Macquarie in the first three years to reinforce the synergistic role of GEMOC in teaching reform and research activities in the foundation period.

During 1999, a formal agreement on the relationship of GEMOC to the new Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences was negotiated with the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Macquarie University Management (consequent on restructuring at Macquarie) and lodged with DETYA by Professor Peter Bergquist (Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research).  This agreement reconfirms that GEMOC is a Centre of Excellence within Macquarie (as recognised by Macquarie's Research Strategic Plan) and allows for ongoing appropriate staffing and support arrangements.
