Project Details
Description
This facility will enable researchers to obtain high-resolution geochemical profiles in the study of environmental change and climate variability. It will provide archived data on variations in density and chemical element composition across sediment and soil cores, rock cores, wood samples, speleothems, and corals. These archives contain important information such as human activity, climate variability, water quality changes, pollution histories, recent geomorphological change, land-use change, introduction of invasive species and the occurrence of bushfires. A better understanding of the occurrence and timing of these major environmental issues is of national and regional importance.
