The influence of environmental and climatic changes on faunal (including human) populations is a pressing issue for Australian communities in environmentally sensitive areas. This project will address this issue by documenting how certain flora and fauna in Indonesia, our nearest northern neighbour, responded to environmental challenges. Revealing when humans first dispersed through the region and how they adapted to changing environmental conditions will also contribute to our understanding of the cultural heritage of Australia's indigenous settlers. This project will build on established collaborations with Indonesian researchers and pioneer new dating methodologies to further enhance Australia's place at the forefront of geochronology.

环境和气候变化对动植物的影响（包括人类）是对环境敏感地区的澳大利亚社区的紧迫问题。该项目将通过记录我们最近的北部邻居印度尼西亚的某些动植物如何应对环境挑战，以解决这个问题。揭示人类何时首先散布在该地区，以及他们如何适应不断变化的环境条件也将有助于我们理解澳大利亚土著定居者的文化遗产。该项目将基于与印尼研究人员和先驱新约会方法的既定合作，以进一步提高澳大利亚在地球体学的最前沿的位置。
