This project aims to predict how wind-blown landscapes respond to changes in climate. This project expects to use novel experiments and theoretical advances to meet this aim, then apply the prediction to the dune fields which cover a third of Australia's surface to generate new knowledge on what climate shaped them in the past, and how they will respond to anthropogenic climate change. Expected outcomes of this project will strengthen collaboration with discipline-leading international researchers and develop a globally-unique laboratory experimental capability in Australia. This should provide significant benefits to understanding environmental change in Australia by vastly improving predictions of dune-field response to future climate.

该项目旨在预测风吹景观如何应对气候变化。该项目预计将使用新的实验和理论进展来实现这一目标，然后将预测应用于覆盖澳大利亚三分之一表面的沙丘领域，以产生关于过去气候塑造它们的新知识，以及它们将如何应对人为气候变化。该项目的预期成果将加强与学科领先的国际研究人员的合作，并在澳大利亚发展全球独特的实验室实验能力。这将大大改善沙丘对未来气候的预测，从而为了解澳大利亚的环境变化提供重大益处。
