Shadow Continent: Submerged Histories from Sahul

该项目旨在调查澳大利亚淹没海岸线的文化和环境历史，以及它们揭示了澳大利亚地区过去和未来海平面上升的情况。利用对萨胡尔古大陆的科学认识，它有望产生关于环境变化和人与海洋关系的新知识。该项目的预期成果包括提高在历史、遗产和考古学领域建立学科合作的能力，并建立第一个萨胡尔历史概览。其好处包括保护和管理澳大利亚水下文化遗产的建议，以及促进公众了解澳大利亚深厚人类历史的叙事框架。

This project aims to investigate the cultural and environmental histories of Australia's drowned coastlines and what they reveal about past and future sea-level rise in the Australian region. Drawing on scientific understandings of the ancient continent of Sahul, it expects to generate new knowledge about environmental change and people-sea relationships. Expected outcomes of this project include enhanced capacity to build disciplinary collaborations in the fields of history, heritage and archaeology and establishing the first historical overview of Sahul. Benefits include recommendations to protect and manage Australia’s underwater cultural heritage and a narrative framework to advance public knowledge of Australia’s deep human history.
