Lake George is an outstanding natural archive - it contains the longest continuous sedimentary record of any Australian lake and has a long, unresolved human occupation history. It also supplies 80 per cent of sand used in the Canberra region construction industry. This multidisciplinary study aims to determine the sedimentary, vegetation, climatic, hydrological, tectonic and archaeological history of the area, including application of cutting-edge dating methods. Project outcomes aim to increase knowledge of landscape evolution and human history in eastern Australia from an improved understanding of the responses of Lake George to past and future climate change and human impact, as well as optimising sustainable extraction of sand and gravel.

乔治湖是一个杰出的自然档案馆-它包含了澳大利亚任何湖泊中最长的连续沉积记录，并有一个漫长的，悬而未决的人类占领历史。它还为堪培拉地区的建筑业提供80%的沙子。这项多学科研究旨在确定该地区的沉积、植被、气候、水文、构造和考古历史，包括应用最先进的测年方法。项目成果旨在通过更好地了解乔治湖对过去和未来气候变化和人类影响的反应，以及优化可持续的沙子和砾石开采，增加对澳大利亚东部景观演变和人类历史的了解。
