Funded Activity Summary

Ancient weather stations of Australia: charting a continent's descent into aridity and its ecological consequences. Australia has an enviable reputation as a leading innovator in geochronological and geochemical studies and this research will reinforce that standing. The outcomes will promote a better understanding of Australia's arid continent, contribute to studies of global climate change, and provide new insights into the response of ecosystems to such events. In these ways, the project addresses directly our current national research priorities 'water - a critical resource', 'responding to climate change and variability' and 'the sustainable use of Australia's biodiversity'.
