New Curtin University research has revealed that the Ninetyeast Ridge—the Earth's longest straight underwater mountain chain—formed through a different process than previously believed.

One research focus is the mechanical interaction between groundwater and rock deformation, which was motivated by an apparent spatial association between some mountain belts and ore deposits in ...

Our research aims to understand the boundary stresses that drive strain, the role of rock strength in the growth of structures, mountain belts and oceans, and how the history of plate motions has ...
