Environmental Genomics: Mining, climate change, water, crime and health

新的环境基因组学方法将采用高性能的基因组测序系统，对澳大利亚环境进行首批详细的遗传研究。由此产生的高分辨率数据将包括基因审计，为准确测量气候和环境变化提供必要信息。这种方法将大大提高环境影响评估的速度和能力，允许负责任的资源开发，为工业和经济带来重大利益。它还将创造新的工具，以改善水的管理和质量、生物安全、法医/警务和人类健康，这反映在支持该项目的各种行业合作伙伴中。

The new Environmental Genomics approach will employ high-powered genome sequencing systems to perform some of the first detailed genetic studies of Australian environments. The resulting high-resolution data will comprise a genetic audit, providing essential information for the accurate measurement of climate and environmental change. This method will dramatically improve the speed, and power of environmental impact assessments, permitting responsible resource development with major benefits to industry and the economy. It will also create new tools to improve water management and quality, biosecurity, forensics/policing and human health, as reflected by the diverse range of industry partners supporting this project.
