| Australian Earth Science Convention, Newcastle, Post-conference workshop “Recent advances on the interpretation of the global multiple sulphur isotope record: implications for the evolution of the Early earth and a wide range of ore-forming processes” | Organised by Marco Fiorentini, Attended by more than 15 students and researchers | 29 May 2014 |
| This workshop brought together the sulfur isotope community, including several global leaders in this discipline (Sue Golding, Boswell Wing) to present the latest advances in our understanding of the multiple sulfur isotope signature record and to identify the greatest knowledge gaps that should be addressed in the short term future. The debate focused on the processes that lead to genesis and preservation of mass independent sulfur isotope signatures in the global geological record. In the last two decades the discovery and measurement of non-mass dependent sulfur isotope signatures in sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks has permitted the formulation of new hypotheses on the evolution of the Early Earth. The precision of analytical techniques, both for whole-rock and in situ analysis of a wide range of S-bearing phases, including sulfides, sulfates and phosphates, have dramatically improved, yet our ability to interpret this data still lags. Sulfur is a crucial element that is involved in numerous biological processes and is a critical ligand that complexes, transports and concentrates a wide range of metals in hydrothermal fluids and silicate melts. As a result, sulfides play a key role in the formation of numerous world-class mineral systems, including gold, nickel, copper and the platinum group elements. However, even if the scientific community broadly agrees that sulfur most likely played a crucial role in the establishment of the first forms of proto-life, the relationship between the global sulfur cycle and the evolution of the biosphere-atmosphere-hydrosphere-lithosphere in the Early Earth is still a hot topic of debate. The entire day was a great success. | ||

| Plumes or Plates in the Archean: How far does uniformitarianism apply in Archean tectonics? Archean Tectonics Debate and Symposium | Organised by Weronika Gorcsyk and Steve Barnes (CSIRO) Well attended with over 80 participants | 27-28 November 2014 |
| Dr Weronika Gorcsyk and Dr Steve Barnes (CSIRO) organised a very well attended and exciting debate on Archean tectonics. It has long been debated how far back in Earth’s history plate tectonic processes have operated. Until the late 1980’s, many geologists considered that plate tectonic activity only operated in the past 1 Ga. Since then, new discoveries have pushed back the envelope to the early Archean. This is a matter of continued dispute and is currently unresolved. Understanding of dynamic Archean tectonics is critical for comprehending the evolution of the Australian continent, and processes that led to the formation of world-class gold and base metal provinces. Recent advances in geophysics, geochronology and geochemistry have opened up new ideas and interpretation of tectonic evolution in the Archean. These were discussed and debated during the two day event. | ||
| CET Corporate Members Day | Organised by Cam McCuaig and Marco Fiorentini | 9 December 2014 |

Adelaide)Attended by ~85 participants | 1-2 December 2014 |
| The workshop brought together Australian Early and Mid-Career Geoscientists (EMCG) working in universities, government institutions, and the industry sector to discuss current and future challenges and opportunities for EMCGs in Australia. The overarching goals of the workshop were to harness the potential of EMC geoscientists in Australia and to 1) Establish a national network of EMCGs to foster collaboration and provide support and guidance to ECRs. 2) Discuss the role of EMC geoscientists in contributing to the development of community-based research objectives that address current Australian needs (both industry and academic). 3) Discuss strategies for funding to improve geoscience research capacities in Australia. 4) Promote opportunities for recruitment support and advancement within Australia and abroad. 5) Discuss Mid- and long-term research strategies to maintain the productivity, originality and success of the Australian Geoscience community at the highest level. | ||
