The fossil record of 'deep-time' ecological processes provides the only tangible tool and material to probe into the dynamics of past biotic responses to global environmental perturbations at a temporal scale extending well beyond the human impact. It is in this context that the project is linked to the National Research Priority Goal 1.5 (Australia's biodiversity), Goal 1.7 (climate change and variability) and Goal 3.1 (breakthrough new knowledge). In addition, the project will enhance Australia's global research profile through multinational and multidisciplinary research collaborations, and, importantly, also provide a crucial training opportunity for the next generation of Australian palaeobiologists.

“深时”生态过程的化石记录提供了唯一有形的工具和材料，以探讨过去生物对全球环境扰动的动态反应，其时间尺度远远超出了人类的影响。正是在这一背景下，该项目与国家研究优先目标1.5（澳大利亚的生物多样性）、目标1.7（气候变化和变异性）和目标3.1（突破性新知识）相联系。此外，该项目将通过多国和多学科研究合作提高澳大利亚的全球研究形象，重要的是，还为下一代澳大利亚古生物学家提供了一个重要的培训机会。
