This interdisciplinary project aims to determine the controls of tectonics on global climate in the last 50 million years. A combination of tectonics, paleogeography, climate modelling and high-performance computing will be applied to test systematically outstanding issues in the reconstruction of the Indo-Asia region and their landmass/seaways configurations and topography, which have bedevilled previous models of paleoclimate evolution. The proposal expects to generate novel knowledge in the area at the boundary between tectonics, paleoclimate modelling and present-day climate. This provides significant benefits to the interpretation of tectonics–climate coupling as current drivers of climate evolution.

这个跨学科的项目旨在确定过去5000万年来构造对全球气候的控制。将采用构造学、古地理学、气候建模和高性能计算相结合的方法，系统地测试在重建印度-亚洲区域及其陆块/航道配置和地形方面的突出问题，这些问题困扰着以前的古气候演变模型。该提案预计将在该地区的构造，古气候建模和当今气候之间的边界产生新的知识。这为解释构造-气候耦合作为当前气候演变的驱动因素提供了重要的益处。
