Single-grain optically-stimulated luminescence and dosimetry instruments to service the Sydney metropolitan and greater New South Wales region

该设备将支持解决澳大利亚重大环境挑战的项目，如气候变化和可变性、沿海管理和可持续河流和水管理，以及评估这些挑战对生活在环境敏感地区的人口的影响和后果。这些项目将建立在澳大利亚、南极洲和西南太平洋的现有合作基础上，并鼓励与东南亚、埃及和阿根廷的研究人员进行新的合作，这将在世界舞台上促进澳大利亚的研究。该设备的使用还将开拓新的测年方法，进一步提高澳大利亚在地质年代学前沿的地位。

This equipment will support projects that address significant environmental challenges in Australia, such as climate change and variability, coastal management and sustainable river and water management, and that assess the impacts and consequences of these challenges for populations living in environmentally sensitive areas. These projects will build on established collaborations in Australia, Antarctica and the south-west Pacific and encourage new collaborations with south-east Asian, Egyptian and Argentinean researchers, which will promote Australian research on a world stage. The use of this equipment will also pioneer new dating methodologies to further enhance Australia's place at the forefront of geochronology.
