The primary aim of this project is to systematically construct a high-resolution record of landscape and vegetation change within the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage Area over the past 50,000 years. Using state-of-the-art dating techniques and a multidisciplinary approach, this project will provide critical environmental context for the region's world-famous archaeological record, charting the environmental changes that occurred as NSW's largest inland lake system ran dry at ~15,000 years ago. Anticipated outcomes include a refined understanding of: the drivers, timing, and periodicity of lake desiccation; the influence these changes had on regions landforms and vegetation; and how this impacted the lives of people living here.

该项目的主要目的是系统地记录过去50 000年来威兰德拉湖地区世界遗产区内的景观和植被变化。该项目使用最先进的年代测定技术和多学科方法，将为该地区著名的考古记录提供关键的环境背景，绘制出约15,000年前新南威尔士州最大的内陆湖泊系统干涸时发生的环境变化。预期的结果包括对以下方面的深入了解：湖泊干化的驱动因素、时间和周期；这些变化对地区地貌和植被的影响；以及这如何影响生活在这里的人们的生活。
