Measuring the chemical history of galaxies is critical to understand how galaxies form and evolve. This program aims to address shortcomings in current methods used to measure elements in a novel approach that combines observations and state-of-the-art modelling. Expected outcomes include a model for the history of the elements as the theoretical basis to derive new, robust galaxy diagnostics. There are tremendous benefits as this research topic is a major science driver for the next generation of telescopes, such as the James Webb Space Telescope and the 25m Giant Magellan Telescope. Through this project, young Australians will be trained in the science and technology required to lead the ground-breaking astronomy research of the future.

测量星系的化学历史对于了解星系如何形成和演化至关重要。该计划旨在解决目前用于测量元素的方法中的缺点，采用一种结合观察和最先进建模的新方法。预期成果包括建立一个元素历史模型，作为得出新的、强有力的星系诊断的理论基础。这一研究课题是下一代望远镜的主要科学驱动力，如詹姆斯韦伯太空望远镜和25米巨型麦哲伦望远镜。通过这个项目，澳大利亚年轻人将接受领导未来开创性天文学研究所需的科学和技术培训。
