A 140,000 year insight into the imprint of climate and humans on Australia (ARC Discovery Project administered by the University of Adelaide)

Abstract:: Before the arrival of Europeans, two events shaped Australia¿s current landscapes and biota more than any others; climate change during the glacial cycle and the arrival of humans on the continent. However, the full scale of these events is not well understood. High resolution analyses of two continuous 140,000 year old sediment deposits will fill this void and answer fundamental questions about how current Australianenvironments came to be.
