Frequent defaunation events strongly threaten sustainable development of marine resources and human environments especially in countries that are surrounded by oceans such as Australia. By analysing recovery mechanisms of marine ecosystems following the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, the greatest crisis of Earth life, we will develop predictive tools for analysing restoration of modern marine defaunated ecosystems. Understanding biotic extinction and recovery is crucial to understanding the evolution of the Earth's biosphere. This study increases Australia's research profile on this global issue. The target strata are quality oil source rocks in Perth Basin, and thus this project is beneficial to the Australian petroleum industry.

频繁发生的动物灭绝事件严重威胁着海洋资源和人类环境的可持续发展，特别是在澳大利亚这样的海洋国家。通过分析海洋生态系统在二叠纪-三叠纪大规模灭绝-地球生命的最大危机-之后的恢复机制，我们将开发用于分析现代海洋无动物生态系统恢复的预测工具。了解生物灭绝和恢复对于了解地球生物圈的演变至关重要。这项研究增加了澳大利亚在这一全球问题上的研究形象。目的层为珀斯盆地优质油源岩，该项目对澳大利亚石油工业有利。
