The Future of Palaeoclimate and Archaeological Research in Australia: Next Generation Instrumentation for Chronology and Environmental Reconstruction

Grant number: LE0989067 | Funding period: 2009 - 2009

Completed

Abstract

The outcomes of this project will promote a better understanding of Australia's arid continent and its surrounding marine environment, contribute to studies of global climate change, and provide new insights into the response of fragile ecosystems to such events and processes. The project addresses directly the National Research Priority 'Water - a critical resource', 'Responding to climate change and variability', 'Overcoming soil loss, salinity and acidity', 'Sustainable use of Australia's biodiversity' and 'Understanding our region and the world'. It provides a consortium-type platform for highly productive collaborative research and training across eight universities and one research org..
