Maintaining the quality of water and soil is a critically important issue for Australia's economic and social development. To be able to predict and plan the future of our natural assets, it is critical to understand their ecological past and their state before and after European settlement. We will utilize the new instrument to develop and apply innovative technologies providing Australia with new knowledge about the causes and effects of toxic cyanobacterial blooms, eutrophication, and contamination of reservoirs by bush-fires. The new facility will also supply advanced oil fingerprinting techniques to the petroleum industry minimizing exploration risk and increasing the chance of the discovery of new oil deposits.

维持水和土壤的质量对于澳大利亚的经济和社会发展是至关重要的问题。为了能够预测和计划我们自然资源的未来，在欧洲定居之前和之后了解他们的生态过去和状态至关重要。我们将利用新工具来开发和应用创新技术，从而为澳大利亚提供有关有毒蓝细菌开花的原因和影响的新知识，富营养化以及灌木丛对水库污染的知识。新设施还将为石油行业提供先进的石油指纹技术，从而最大程度地降低勘探风险，并增加发现新的石油矿床的机会。
