This project aims to establish the state and nature of the physical Earth systems (climate, topography, geography, erosion, carbon cycle, oxygen cycle) during the Neoproterozoic Era that made our planet habitable to complex life. By analysing these systems together, fundamental drivers and contributions to making a habitable planet will be untangled. Expected outcomes include the first ever series of climate models of this time period, as well a series of digital reconstructions of the physical systems themselves. Sedimentary hosted ore deposits, such as copper and cobalt, are formed partly as a function of erosion and climate, allowing us to provide a mechanistic driver to their formation, and consequently exploration.

该项目旨在在新元古代时代建立物理地球系统（气候，地形，地理，侵蚀，碳循环，氧气周期）的状态和性质，这使我们的星球使我们的星球都能居住在复杂的生活中。通过共同分析这些系统，将毫无意义地分析这些系统，对制造可居住星球的贡献和贡献。预期的结果包括有史以来的第一个气候模型，以及物理系统本身的一系列数字重建。沉积物托管的矿床，例如铜和钴，部分是作为侵蚀和气候的函数形成的，使我们能够为其形成的机械驱动器提供机械驱动力，从而为探索提供了机械驱动力。
