1. U-Pb dating of detrital zircon from the Mt. Alfred area, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia
Abstract : Hadean and Paleo-Eoarchean aged detrital zircon provide a rare glimpse into the nature of the early Earth. Thus, the characterisation of new localities with rocks that host Hadean and Paleo-Eoarchean zircon provide invaluable insight into the Earth’s early crust. READ MORE

2. In-Between: Contemporary Art in Australia. Cross-culture, Contemporaneity, Globalization
Abstract : This study emerges from the question: what is contemporary art, and mainly what criteria constitute contemporary art in a globalized art world in general? Thus, the focus of this dissertation is on the postcolonial context of Australia and the fact that the contemporary art scene in Australia is divided into Australian and Aboriginal art respectively. This is a division originating from the colonization of Australia that began in the 1770’s, resulting in an Australian art descending from a Western art practice, where there is further focus on two categories within this art.

4. Assessing the reliability of detrital zircon in Early-Earth provenance studies
Abstract : Our understanding of the Early Earth and the processes that have shaped its evolution have spawned predominantly from the geochemical and isotopic signatures of a small number of zircon populations around the world. Studies of trace element distributions, Hf and O isotope systematics as well as mineral inclusion chemistry in detrital zircon are combined with U-Pb chronology in order to constrain source rock characteristics.

5. Social inequalities in access to child healthcare services : an international comparative perspective
Abstract : Universal access to child healthcare services is of greatest importance and a common goal of many countries in Europe and elsewhere. Thus, every child should be able to receive the healthcare they need, irrespective of their socio-economic circumstances and national origin. To what degree this is the case is the subject of this thesis. READ MORE
