Deciphering the early Solar System chronology and planetary chemistry using isotope systematics of meteoritic zircon

该项目解决了我们太阳系的早期演化，这是地球和行星科学中最重要的问题之一。它将使用澳大利亚的陨石和澳大利亚开发的创新分析技术。在这个项目中产生的高影响力的科学成果将在国际上承认我们在这个高知名度和竞争力的研究领域的独特能力方面对国家有利。此外，通过对类地行星地球化学演化的初始状态提供新的限制，这项工作将进一步加深我们对地球地幔和地壳随后演化的认识，从而为澳大利亚大陆的发展及其深地资源提供更好的模型。

This project addresses the early evolution of our Solar System that is one of the most important questions in Earth and Planetary sciences. It will use Australia's meteorites and innovative analytical techniques developed in Australia. High impact scientific results produced in this project will be to the national benefit in terms of international recognition of our unique capability in this high profile and competitive research field. Furthermore, by providing new constraints on the initial state of geochemical evolution of the terrestrial planets, this work will further our knowledge of the subsequent evolution of the Earth's mantle and crust, leading to better models for Australian continent development and its deep-Earth resources.
