This project aims to generate fundamental information about the timing and mode of formation of sand dunes in the world's largest downdrift sand system, Cooloola and Fraser Island, Queensland. The project aims to provide a world class record of climate variability, sea-level change and long term climate change from the sub-tropics of Australia, an area critical to understanding global climate links and sea-level change but where high quality long-term records are sparse and little investigated. This project will also underpin the outstanding universal value of the Fraser Island World Heritage Area which is based on the area being the world's largest sand island, but for which scientific understanding of the sand dunes is remarkably poor.

该项目旨在获得关于世界上最大的下流沙系统-昆士兰州库鲁拉和弗雷泽岛-沙丘形成时间和模式的基本信息。该项目旨在提供澳大利亚亚热带地区气候变率、海平面变化和长期气候变化的世界级记录，该地区对了解全球气候联系和海平面变化至关重要，但高质量的长期记录很少，调查也很少。该项目还将加强弗雷泽岛世界遗产区的突出普遍价值，该地区是世界上最大的沙岛，但对沙丘的科学认识非常贫乏。
