Abstract: | Southeast Australia is currently in a prolonged drought. The ongoing drought has placed immense pressure on the limited water
resources and a perception that this may be the start of a persistent change from historical conditions. Several studies have
suggested that part of the current drought could be associated with global warming, and many global climate model projections
for southeast Australia are for a drier future on average. However, it is difficult, if not impossible, to separate a global
warming signal from the high natural variability observed over the last two centuries and revealed in palaeo-climate records. |
