Deciphering the early Solar System chronology and planetary chemistry using isotope systematics of meteoritic zircon

这个项目解决了太阳系的早期演化问题，这是地球和行星科学中最重要的问题之一。它将使用澳大利亚的陨石和澳大利亚开发的创新分析技术。该项目产生的高影响力科学成果将有利于国家利益，因为我们在这一备受瞩目和竞争激烈的研究领域的独特能力得到了国际认可。此外，通过为类地行星的地球化学演化初始状态提供新的约束，这项工作将进一步加深我们对地幔和地壳随后演化的了解，从而为澳大利亚大陆的发展及其地球深层资源提供更好的模型。

This project addresses the early evolution of our Solar System that is one of the most important questions in Earth and Planetary sciences. It will use Australia's meteorites and innovative analytical techniques developed in Australia. High impact scientific results produced in this project will be to the national benefit in terms of international recognition of our unique capability in this high profile and competitive research field. Furthermore, by providing new constraints on the initial state of geochemical evolution of the terrestrial planets, this work will further our knowledge of the subsequent evolution of the Earth's mantle and crust, leading to better models for Australian continent development and its deep-Earth resources.
