5B. Explain how this proposal differs from the ongoing research activities of each team member. Do not exceed 1 500 characters including spaces and punctuation.
The collaborative nature of this project is essential as allows skills, data and techniques to be shared across very different disciplines. This will open new opportunities and allow ground breaking questions to be answered for the first time. Each collaborator’s contribution is essential as every subproject relies on the skills of at least two collaborators, giving this project its cross disciplinary nature. The proposed project is beyond the expertise of a single researcher and by bringing collaborators together, the project can move into research areas new to both the research team and the scientific community in general.
