This project aims to produce a modern history of the ancient mega-continent Gondwanaland. An international team intends to reorient the history of geosciences towards the southern hemisphere by investigating geologists working in Australasia, South Asia, South America, Southern Africa and Antarctica since 1788. This includes analysis of how Gondwana fossils came to fuel the industrial age. The team also aims to explain how, why and with what effect the term 'Gondwana' has retained such strong cultural purchase, well beyond the geological domain. This should productively recast ideas of a global south and improve understanding of what ‘Gondwana’, and deep geological time, mean for societies across the southern hemisphere.

这个项目的目的是产生一个古老的巨型大陆冈瓦纳大陆的现代史。一个国际小组打算通过调查自1788年以来在澳大拉西亚、南亚、南美洲、南部非洲和南极洲工作的地质学家，将地球科学的历史重新定位到南半球。这包括对冈瓦纳古陆化石如何为工业时代提供燃料的分析。该团队还旨在解释“冈瓦纳”一词如何、为什么以及有什么影响保留了如此强大的文化购买力，远远超出了地质领域。这将有效地重塑全球南部的观念，并提高对“冈瓦纳”和深层地质时代对南半球社会的意义的理解。
