This study contributes to putting Australia on the map as a centre of excellence in the study of past climates as well as in global warming research. It aims at a greater understanding of the dynamics of past warm climate states. This could ultimately lead to a better knowledge of the formation of the ancient deposits that we mine in Australia today. Furthermore, the study of these past warm climates tells us something about current global warming as both involve increased levels of carbon in the atmosphere. The impact of climate change on Australia is likely to be large. Our study of past warm climates helps to gain an understanding of the mechanisms behind climate change and help quantify the risks of climate change posed to Australia.

这项研究有助于将澳大利亚作为过去气候研究和全球变暖研究的卓越中心。它旨在更好地了解过去温暖气候状态的动态。这可能最终导致我们更好地了解我们今天在澳大利亚开采的古代矿床的形成。此外，对这些过去温暖气候的研究告诉我们一些关于当前全球变暖的信息，因为两者都涉及大气中碳含量的增加。气候变化对澳大利亚的影响可能很大。我们对过去温暖气候的研究有助于了解气候变化背后的机制，并帮助量化气候变化对澳大利亚造成的风险。
