The geodynamics of past sea level changes

该项目旨在量化地球内部深层水流对过去海平面变化的影响，以及对过去5.5亿年澳大利亚洪水历史的影响。随着时间的推移，海平面的上升和下降塑造了我们的星球。该项目计划将构造重建和动态地球模型的最新进展与全球和澳大利亚岩石记录结合起来。预期的结果是了解地球表面是如何被其内部的水流塑造的，以及这些过程如何解释沉积记录。项目成果有可能被用作勘探工具，以最大限度地提高澳大利亚在勘探陆上沉积盆地方面的竞争优势。

This project is designed to quantify the effect of flow deep within Earth’s interior on past sea-level changes and on the flooding history of Australia over the last 550 million years. The rise and fall of sea level has shaped our planet over time. This project plans to combine recent advances in tectonic reconstructions and dynamic Earth models with the global and Australian rock record. The intended outcome is to understand how the Earth’s surface is shaped by flow within its interior, and how these processes explain the sedimentary record. Project results have the potential to be used as an exploration tool to maximise Australia’s competitive advantage in exploring onshore sedimentary basins.
