This project will directly benefit the people and businesses associated with 1,174 tropical islands found in Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait waters. By bringing together a multi-disciplinary team and training young Australian researchers, this project will establish an integrated research program that will outline the challenges, and develop the solutions, that will be needed for Australians to cope with rising sea levels. While the initial focus is the highly exposed tropical islands, the results of this integrated research program will have a wide applicability across Australia in terms of the geomorphological, natural and human challenges associated with rapid pathogenic sea level rise.

该项目将直接造福于大堡礁和托雷斯海峡沃茨中1 174个热带岛屿的居民和企业。 通过汇集多学科团队和培训年轻的澳大利亚研究人员，该项目将建立一个综合研究计划，概述澳大利亚人科普海平面上升所需的挑战，并制定解决方案。虽然最初的重点是高度暴露的热带岛屿，但这一综合研究计划的结果将在与快速致病性海平面上升相关的地貌，自然和人类挑战方面在澳大利亚具有广泛的适用性。
