Four separate sub-themes presented for the AGES 2020 meeting in Alice Springs that was cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Themes are:
1. Combined apatite U-Pb and whole-rock Rb-Sr geochronology of the Derim Derim dolerite
2. Reconstructing the Mesoproterozoic palaeogeography of northern Australia through detrital thermo- and geo-chronometers.
3. Late Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic redox conditions--proxies from the Tawallah and Lower McArthur Groups
4. Age constraints and provenance of the Tomkinson Province--the southernmost greater McArthur Basin
The poster presents the work of the ARC McArthur Basin Linkage team, supported by the Northern Territory Geological Survey, Santos Ltd., Origin and Imperial Oil and Gas and involving The University of Adelaide, UniSA, The University of Wollongong and the Czech Academy of Sciences. The poster is largely the work of Angus Nixon, Morgan Blades, Bo Yang and Darwinaji Subarkah.
