The Western Australia ThermoChronology Hub

该项目旨在通过提供世界上第一个三重测年仪器设施，促进地球和行星科学不同领域的新颖地质年代学研究。结合三种独立的放射性测年方法，该设施将进行研究，以促进我们对地球和其他行星的起源和演化的理解，并为加强对地球资源的勘探提供工具。预期的结果包括为学术、政府和行业研究建立一个强大的合作设施，并进一步加强澳大利亚在地质年代学领域作为国际研究和教育领导者的地位。它将使我们更好地了解地球表面的演变，以及矿物和石油资源的形成和分布。

This project aims to facilitate novel geochronological research in diverse areas of Earth and planetary science by providing a world-first triple-dating instrument facility. Combining three independent radiometric dating methods, the facility will undertake research to advance our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Earth and other planets, and provide tools to enhance exploration for Earth’s resources. Expected outcomes include the formation of a strong collaborative facility for academic, government and industry research and a further strengthening of Australia’s position as an international research and education leader in the field of geochronology. It will lead to an improved understanding of the evolution of Earth’s surface, and the formation and distribution of mineral and petroleum resources.
