Isolation, Insularity and Change in Island Populations - an Interdisciplinary Study of Aboriginal Cultural Patterns in the Gulf of Carpentaria

该项目的国家效益集中在其对保护澳大利亚和澳大利亚环境可持续性的贡献上。北方土著人民的参与对边境保护政策和程序至关重要。该项目将有助于振兴卡奔塔利亚土地理事会的土著游骑兵计划，该计划在保护国家北方方法方面具有潜在作用，包括打击野生动植物进口、监测监测和海洋栖息地保护。对卡奔塔利亚湾海平面和气候历史以及相关沿海地貌影响的地质研究将有助于建立全球变暖及其后果（海平面上升）的预测模型。

The project's national benefits centre on its contribution to safeguarding Australia and to an environmentally sustainable Australia. The participation of northern Indigenous people is critical to border protection policies and procedures. This project will help revitalise the Carpentaria Land Council's Aboriginal Rangers scheme, which has a potential role in safeguarding the nation's northern approaches, including combating feral plant and animal importation, Coastwatch surveillance and marine habitat protection. The geological research on sea level and climatic history in the Gulf of Carpentaria and associated coastal geomorphological impacts will contribute to predictive models on global warming and its consequences (sea-level rise).
