GEMOC ARC National Key CentreGEMOC 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 collaborative 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 and research concentration within Macquarie University, and three designated Areas of Excellence within Macquarie University’s Research and Research Teaching Management Plan lie within GEMOC:
- lithosphere and planetary evolution and metallogeny
- isotopic and global geochemistry;
- paleomagnetism geodynamics and geophysical modelling
All of these align with GEMOC’s mainstream foci. This University recognition allows for ongoing appropriate staffing and support arrangements.
