Vast sedimentary basins, fold belts and associated resources represent the main source of Australia's wealth, formed largely as consequences of major global tectonic events. We propose to connect two key national Simulation and Modelling infrastructures to a novel geodynamic modelling tool, developed specifically for modelling plate tectonics at the global and regional scale and suitable to unravel the causes and consequences of sudden global plate tectonic reorganizations. The knowledge-base derived from this work will considerably improve our understanding of catastrophic tectonic events affecting plate boundaries and plate interiors.

巨大的沉积盆地、褶皱带和相关资源是澳大利亚财富的主要来源，主要是由于重大全球构造事件的后果而形成的。我们建议将两个关键的国家模拟和模拟基础设施与一个新的地球动力学模拟工具连接起来，该工具是专门为在全球和区域范围内模拟板块构造而开发的，适合于揭示全球板块突然构造重组的原因和后果。从这项工作中获得的知识库将大大提高我们对影响板块边界和板块内部的灾难性构造事件的理解。
