A test for Pangean breakup models

该项目解决了行星地质学的核心问题，项目成果提供了一个无与伦比的全球规模的地球过程的综合，突出了迄今为止未被怀疑的外围造山系统和盘古大陆分裂之间的联系。该项目直接解决了关键问题“大陆如何工作？”，由国家地球科学委员会概述。它在国际上连接到[ERAS]，这是一个通过地质时代调查增生造山带的多国提案，在国内通过种子资助的ARC网络（AEON）连接到ACCess，RSES（ANU）和国家重点中心（GEMOC），纽卡斯尔大学是该中心的研究伙伴。 参与了2个PhD项目。

This project addresses a core issue of planetary-geology, with project outcomes providing an unparalleled synthesis of global-scale Earth processes that highlight hitherto unsuspected links between peripheral orogenic systems and Pangean breakup. The project directly addresses the key problem 'How do the continents work?', outlined by the National Committee of Earth Sciences. It links internationally to [ERAS], a multi-national proposal to investigate accretionary orogens through geologic time, and nationally via the seed-funded ARC Network (AEON) to ACcess, RSES (ANU) and with a National Key Centre, (GEMOC), with whom the University of Newcastle is a research partner. 2PhD projects are involved.
