The project aims to reconstruct 250 million years of landscape evolution in response to rifting and break-up of the Gondwana supercontinent, using the innovative approach of combining regional thermochronology with global plate tectonic models. From these reconstructions, the time-integrated record of exhumation and erosion at the continental margins will be revealed at an unprecedented scale. The main expected outcome will be a deep time archive of the relationships between tectonic forcing, continental erosion and the global climate, which may assist predictions and debate on future climate change. The outcomes will also provide economic benefits as they will inform on the exhumation and preservation of (critical) mineral resources.

该项目的目的是利用将区域热量学与全球板块构造模型相结合的创新方法来重建2.5亿年的景观演化，以响应冈瓦纳超大陆的裂变和分裂。从这些重建中，将以前所未有的规模揭示了大陆边缘的挖掘和侵蚀的时间融合记录。预期的主要结果将是对构造强迫，大陆侵蚀与全球气候之间关系的深刻时期，这可能有助于预测和对未来气候变化的辩论。结果还将提供经济利益，因为他们将告知（关键）矿产资源的挖掘和保存。
