Scientific drilling of sediments at Darwin Crater, Tasmania (2019)
Journal Article

A 70 m long continental sediment record was recovered at Darwin Crater in western Tasmania, Australia. The sediment succession includes a pre-lake silty sand deposit overlain by lacustrine silts that have accumulated in the ∼816 ka meteorite impact c...

Reduced rainfall drives biomass limitation of long‐term fire activity in Australia’s subtropical sclerophyll forests (2019)
Journal Article

Aim To understand the long?term drivers of biomass burning in the sclerophyll?dominated forests of Australia. Location Swallow Lagoon, North Stradbroke Island, Queensland, Australia. Time period Last ca. 8 kyr. Major taxa studied Eucalyptus se... Read More about Reduced rainfall drives biomass limitation of long‐term fire activity in Australia’s subtropical sclerophyll forests.

Climate change reduces resilience to fire in subalpine rainforests (2019)
Journal Article

Climate change is affecting the distribution of species and the functioning of ecosystems. For species that are slow growing and poorly dispersed, climate change can force a lag between the distributions of species and the geographic distributions of...

Holocene Vegetation Dynamics and First Land-Cover Estimates in the Auvergne Mountains (Massif Central, France): Key Tools to Landscape Management (2018)
Journal Article

A multi-proxy palaeoecological investigation has been undertaken at high spatio-temporal resolution in the Lower Auvergne Mountains (France). It allows us to investigate the Holocene trajectories of landscape evolution arising from the interplay betw...

How significant is atmospheric metal contamination from mining activity adjacent to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area? A spatial analysis of metal concentrations using air trajectories models (2018)
Journal Article

This study investigated metal contamination from historical mining in lakes in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA) and surrounding region. The largest increase in sedimentation and metal contamination occurred ca. 1930 when open-cut...

Climate Change Amplifications of Climate-Fire Teleconnections in the Southern Hemisphere (2018)
Journal Article

©2018. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. Recent changes in trend and variability of the main Southern Hemisphere climate modes are driven by a variety of factors, including increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases, changes in tropical s...

Centennial-scale trends in the Southern Annular Mode revealed by hemisphere-wide fire and hydroclimatic trends over the past 2400 years (2018)
Journal Article

Millennial-scale latitudinal shifts in the southern westerly winds (SWW) drive changes in Southern Ocean upwelling, leading to changes in atmospheric CO2 levels, thereby affecting the global climate and carbon cycle. Our aim here is to understand whe... Read More about Centennial-scale trends in the Southern Annular Mode revealed by hemisphere-wide fire and hydroclimatic trends over the past 2400 years.

The changing role of fire in conifer-dominated temperate rainforest through the last 14,000 years (2018)
Journal Article

Invasive cordgrass (Spartina spp.) in south-eastern Australia induces island formation, salt marsh development, and carbon storage (2017)
Journal Article

Invasive vegetation species can lead to major changes in the geomorphology of coastal systems. Within temperate estuaries in the southern hemisphere, especially Australia and New Zealand, the cordgrass Spartina spp. has become established. These spec...

Coupling of the Intertropical Convergence Zone and Southern Hemisphere mid-latitude climate during the early to mid-Holocene (2017)
Journal Article

Conceptual models predict a tight coupling between the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and the Southern Westerly Winds (SWW) in response to glacial-interglacial transitions, yet little is known about this relationship under Holocene boundary co...

How old is the Tasmanian cultural landscape? A test of landscape openness using quantitative land-cover reconstructions (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Aim: To test competing hypotheses about the timing and extent of Holocene landscape opening using pollen-based quantitative land-cover estimates. Location: Dove Lake, Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, Australia.... Read More about How old is the Tasmanian cultural landscape?

The Southern Annular Mode determines inter-annual and centennial-scale fire activity in temperate southwest Tasmania, Australia (2016)
Journal Article

Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is the primary mode of atmospheric variability in the Southern Hemisphere. While it is well established that the current anthropogenic?driven trend in SAM is responsible for decreased rainfall in southern Australia, its ro...
