Antipodean Geology: A Modern History of Southern Hemisphere Earth

该项目旨在制作一部古代巨型大陆冈瓦瓦兰的现代历史。一个国际小组打算通过调查自1788年以来在澳大拉西亚、南亚、南美洲、南部非洲和南极洲工作的地质学家，将地球科学史重新定位到南半球。这包括分析冈瓦那化石是如何为工业时代提供燃料的。该团队还致力于解释“冈瓦那”一词如何、为什么以及以何种效果保留了如此强大的文化购买力，远远超出了地质学领域。这应该会卓有成效地重塑全球南方的概念，并提高对“冈瓦那”和深部地质时间对整个南半球社会意味着什么的理解。

This project aims to produce a modern history of the ancient mega-continent Gondwanaland. An international team intends to reorient the history of geosciences towards the southern hemisphere by investigating geologists working in Australasia, South Asia, South America, Southern Africa and Antarctica since 1788. This includes analysis of how Gondwana fossils came to fuel the industrial age. The team also aims to explain how, why and with what effect the term 'Gondwana' has retained such strong cultural purchase, well beyond the geological domain. This should productively recast ideas of a global south and improve understanding of what ‘Gondwana’, and deep geological time, mean for societies across the southern hemisphere.
