Reefs and carbonate platforms represent the most prolific component of Earth’s carbonate factory on geological timescales. The project will develop a digital community framework for modelling the rise and demise of carbonate platforms on geological timescales. The project will untangle the relative influence of tectonics, dynamic topography from mantle convection, sea level change, climate, and terrestrial sediment runoff on the growth and drowning of carbonate platforms. The outcomes will identify the environmental conditions that shut down reefs on the scale of the Great Barrier Reef, quantify the carbon storage potential of carbonate platforms, and model the tectonic development of Australia's continental margins in unprecedented detail.

生物礁和碳酸盐台地代表了地质时间尺度上地球碳酸盐工厂中最丰富的组成部分。该项目将开发一个数字社区框架，用于在地质时标上模拟碳酸盐台地的上升和消亡。该项目将解开构造、地幔对流的动态地形、海平面变化、气候和陆地沉积物径流对碳酸盐台地生长和淹没的相对影响。研究结果将确定关闭大堡礁规模的珊瑚礁的环境条件，量化碳酸盐岩平台的碳储存潜力，并以前所未有的细节模拟澳大利亚大陆边缘的构造发展。
