Funded Activity Summary
A new dating tool for Australia’s cultural and natural history. This project aims to advance Australian geochronology and Earth magnetic field research by constructing high-quality paleomagnetic records from stalagmites and lake sediments. It is expected that this project will provide a new dating capacity in Australia for academia, cultural heritage and government in a region with rich Indigenous history. This should provide significant benefits advancing our understanding of Australia’s timeline and raising appreciation of the oldest continuous living culture in the world. The ancient geomagnetic field data will also be integrated into geomagnetic field models as part of the international effort understanding Earth’s magnetic field evolution and future impact on society.Funded Activity Details
