This project is designed to quantify the effect of flow deep within Earth’s interior on past sea-level changes and on the flooding history of Australia over the last 550 million years. The rise and fall of sea level has shaped our planet over time. This project plans to combine recent advances in tectonic reconstructions and dynamic Earth models with the global and Australian rock record. The intended outcome is to understand how the Earth’s surface is shaped by flow within its interior, and how these processes explain the sedimentary record. Project results have the potential to be used as an exploration tool to maximise Australia’s competitive advantage in exploring onshore sedimentary basins.

该项目旨在量化地球内部内部深处流动对过去5.5亿年澳大利亚洪水历史的影响。随着时间的流逝，海平面的兴衰塑造了我们的星球。该项目计划将构造重建和动态地球模型的最新进展与全球和澳大利亚摇滚记录相结合。预期的结果是了解地球表面是如何由其内部流动形成的，以及这些过程如何解释沉积记录。项目结果有可能用作探索工具，以最大程度地利用澳大利亚在探索陆上沉积低音方面的竞争优势。
