Funded Activity Summary

Chemistry of the Archaean Ocean and its Impact on Earth's Early Atmosphere and Ecosystems. The Pilbara Craton (WA) contains some of the oldest and best preserved Archaean rocks and microfossils in the world. These rocks, which were recently drilled as part of a collaborative effort between France and Australia, present an unprecedented opportunity to study the composition of the Earth's early atmosphere, ocean and life. The research will strengthen Australia's strategic links with international experts and will provide access to the state-of-the-art synchrotron facility in France. The project links fundamental processes that shaped the Earth and thus fits into National Research Priority 1: An Environmentally Sustainable Australia.
