The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and how it will respond to future global climate changes is of fundamental importance to the nation. The project will address this challenge by investigating the submerged fossil coral reefs in the GBR. This will lead to a better understanding of the natural rates, range and forcing mechanisms that control global sea-level and climate variability (ie. paleo-ENSO), and geo-biological changes affecting the GBR over the last 20,000 years. This project will provide unique insights into the response of the GBR to past environmental stress and improve predictions about the vulnerability of GBR to future global climate changes.

大堡礁(GBR)以及它将如何应对未来的全球气候变化对这个国家至关重要。该项目将通过调查GBR中的水下化石珊瑚礁来应对这一挑战。这将有助于更好地理解控制全球海平面和气候变异性的自然速率、范围和强迫机制(即。古ENSO)，以及过去20,000年来影响GBR的地球生物变化。该项目将为GBR对过去环境压力的反应提供独特的见解，并改进对GBR对未来全球气候变化的脆弱性的预测。
