This project aims to build an innovative facility for small-scale spectral maps of volatiles (e.g., carbon, oxygen, hydrogen) and minerals that is linked to micro-isotopic analysis. The facility should significantly improve methods to trace the history of natural materials that have been exposed to different environments (e.g., liquids, gases, temperature, or biology). This capability underpins cross-disciplinary research in "hot" topics such as critical mineral and ore exploration, climate change, volcanic eruptions, biomineral formation, and cultural history. The project will likely benefit homegrown infrastructure in universities, CSIRO and Geoscience Australia, and leverage Australian expertise in geoscience and archaeology.

该项目旨在建立一个创新设施，用于绘制与微量同位素分析相关的挥发物（例如碳、氧、氢）和矿物质的小比例光谱图。该设施应显着改进追踪暴露于不同环境（例如液体、气体、温度或生物）的天然材料历史的方法。 这种能力支撑着关键矿物和矿石勘探、气候变化、火山爆发、生物矿物形成和文化历史等“热门”主题的跨学科研究。该项目可能有利于大学、澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）和澳大利亚地球科学局的本土基础设施，并利用澳大利亚在地球科学和考古学方面的专业知识。
