Our project falls in the first national research priority: an environmentally sustainable Australia and meets two of its primary goals, understanding environmental change and the evolution of biodiversity, and responding to climate change and variability. Our models will represent a major step forward in differentiating between natural processes and anthropological input to present global climate change and will address quantitatively how Australia changed from a continent rich in freshwater to the driest inhabited continent throughout the last 40 million years.

我们的项目福尔斯属于第一个国家研究重点：一个环境可持续的澳大利亚，并满足其两个主要目标，了解环境变化和生物多样性的演变，并应对气候变化和变异。我们的模型将在区分自然过程和人类学输入以呈现全球气候变化方面向前迈出了重要一步，并将定量解决澳大利亚在过去4000万年中如何从淡水丰富的大陆变成最干燥的有人居住的大陆。
