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物（包括人类）种群的影响是环境敏感地区澳大利亚社区面临的一个紧迫问题。这个项目将通过记录我们最近的北方邻国印度尼西亚的某些动植物如何应对环境挑战来解决这个问题。揭示人类何时首次分散到该地区，以及他们如何适应不断变化的环境条件，也将有助于我们了解澳大利亚土著定居者的文化遗产。该项目将建立在与印度尼西亚研究人员的既定合作基础上，并开创新的测年方法，以进一步提高澳大利亚在地质年代学前沿的地位。
