The Pilbara Craton (WA) contains some of the oldest and best preserved Archaean rocks and microfossils in the world. These rocks, which were recently drilled as part of a collaborative effort between France and Australia, present an unprecedented opportunity to study the composition of the Earth's early atmosphere, ocean and life. The research will strengthen Australia's strategic links with international experts and will provide access to the state-of-the-art synchrotron facility in France. The project links fundamental processes that shaped the Earth and thus fits into National Research Priority 1: An Environmentally Sustainable Australia.

皮尔巴拉火山（西澳）拥有世界上最古老、保存最完好的古生物岩石和微化石。这些岩石是最近法国和澳大利亚合作钻探的，为研究地球早期大气、海洋和生命的组成提供了前所未有的机会。该研究将加强澳大利亚与国际专家的战略联系，并将提供使用法国最先进的同步加速器设施的机会。该项目将塑造地球的基本过程联系起来，因此符合国家研究重点1：环境可持续的澳大利亚。
