Additional information

First large scale application of the model MOPEDZ, developed under EPSRC GR/R69464/01, to the Australian Black Flag Fault System. Our research shows that mechanical heterogeneity exerts a first-order control on fracture/fault evolution even at large distances away from the principal fault. Model predicts the locations of existing gold deposits better than existing techniques, as well as highlighting a new gold prospect at a site that is as yet unexplored. Described by a reviewer as "a really first-rate manuscript". This model is part of the body of work resulting in Lunn winning the Geological Society of London 2011 Aberconway medal (http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/About/History/Awards-Citations-Replies-2001-Onwards/2011-Award-Citations-and-Replies).
