معرفی
Tracy Rushmer is an Honorary Professor and Academic Casual in the School of Natural Sciences at Macquarie University, affiliated with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Core to Crust Fluid Systems. Her research spans magma systems, mantle dynamics, and planetary formation, leveraging experimental petrology and geochemical analysis.
Her work explores processes like partial melting in subduction zones, crustal growth, and metal segregation in meteorites. Notable projects include the 'Global Fireball Observatory' and studies on magma evolution at White Island Volcano. She leads 29 active and completed research projects, often involving interdisciplinary collaborations.
- Research interests: Magma evolution, mantle melting, crustal differentiation, experimental petrology, and planetary formation mechanisms.
- Key contributions: Developing models for melt segregation in TTG magmas, analyzing fluid transport in the mantle, and investigating the origins of metal in chondrites.
Her articles reflect a focus on experimental and observational studies of magmatic systems, mantle processes, and meteorite composition. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but her h-index of 3361 highlights significant scholarly impact.
- Grants & Projects:
- Lead researcher in 29 projects, including 'Embedded Sensing System for Concrete Pavement Cracks' (Transport For NSW-funded) and 'Rehydration of the Lower Crust.'
- Contributions to facilities like the Macquarie Deformation-DIA synchrotron facility.
She collaborates with institutions globally and contributes to the Macquarie University Planetary Research Centre, advancing understanding of Earth's crustal evolution and planetary processes.
