This project aims to investigate the structure and stability of the Australian continent. It will focus on improving predictive models of sedimentary basin development on the edge of thick lithosphere, which host large quantities of metal, hydrocarbons, and freshwater. Understanding their formation will enhance the ability to locate resources in frontier areas. The research combines state-of-the-art geodynamical modelling with the burgeoning quantity of geophysical and geological data collected by the government and research community. The project would build Australian research capability and stimulate novel approaches to critical problems, highlighting opportunities at the interface between academic and industry geoscience.

该项目旨在调查澳大利亚大陆的结构和稳定性。它将专注于改进厚岩石圈边缘沉积盆地发展的预测模型，岩石圈蕴藏着大量的金属、碳氢化合物和淡水。了解它们的形成将提高在边疆地区定位资源的能力。这项研究将最先进的地球动力学模型与政府和研究界收集的数量迅速增长的地球物理和地质数据结合在一起。该项目将建设澳大利亚的研究能力，并激发解决关键问题的新方法，突出学术和行业地球科学之间的交界处的机会。
