معرفی
Weronika Gorczyk is an Adjunct Professor at the School of Earth and Oceans at The University of Western Australia. She holds a PhD from ETH Zurich (2008) and has extensive experience in geodynamic modeling, mineral systems research, and tectonic studies. Her research focuses on lithospheric-scale processes, including rifting, basin evolution, and the deep carbon cycle, with applications to mineral exploration. She currently leads MRIWA-funded projects investigating Proterozoic basin dynamics and their links to mineralization in the Paterson Orogen.
Education:
- PhD in Geology, ETH Zurich (2008)
- Numerical Modeling experience from CSIRO (2008–2010)
Research Interests: Geodynamics, tectonic evolution of cratons, carbon cycle dynamics, and the interplay between lithospheric deformation and mineralizing processes. Her work integrates numerical modeling, geophysical data, and field observations to address unresolved questions in Earth's evolution.
Key Projects:
- MRIWA 521: Multi-stage basin evolution and mineralization in the Paterson Orogen
- ARC Linkage LP190100146: Integrated exploration framework for frontier basins
- ARC DP190100216: Fluid dynamics in deep Earth processes
Grants & Leadership: Principal Investigator on MRIWA and ARC grants totaling over 18 funded projects. Active in collaborative networks with Geological Surveys, Macquarie University, and international experts.
Labs/Teams: Core member of the Centre for Exploration Targeting and ARC Centre of Excellence for Core to Crust Fluid Systems. Leads multidisciplinary teams integrating geodynamic modeling, geochemistry, and geophysics.
