A high performance stable-isotope microanalytical facility for environmental Earth science and climate change research

在预测气候变化、人类对环境的影响以及海底大地震和海啸的国际努力中，澳大利亚处于非常有利的地位，可以发挥主导作用。新一代稳定同位素微量分析设施将使澳大利亚具备前所未有的技术和建模能力，并最大限度地发挥地球科学领域引人注目的研究的影响。每个澳大拉西亚国家都将受益于解决人类文明最严重的环境威胁所必需的新知识。新设施将为合作、研究生教育和研究培训提供卓越的机会，其成果将吸引公众参与科学发现的兴奋。

Australia is exceptionally well positioned to play a lead role in the international effort to predict climate change, human impacts on the environment, and great submarine earthquakes and tsunamis. The new-generation stable-isotope microanalytical facility will give Australia unprecedented technical and modelling capacities and maximise the impact of high-profile research in the earth sciences. Every Australasian nation will benefit from new knowledge that is essential to address civilisation's most serious environmental threats. The new facilities will foster outstanding opportunities for collaboration, post-graduate education, and research training with outcomes that will engage the public in the excitement of scientific discovery.
