Abstract

This year sees the culmination of some 20 years of investigations of two deep-sea cores taken by ANU offshore Kangaroo Island in South Australia, opposite the current mouth of the River Murray. These cores provide remarkable, high-resolution data that rely on marine and non-marine proxies, and, as a consequence, it has now been possible to compare past events both on land and at sea spaning the last glacial-interglacial cycle, viz 125,000 years. The cores provide information on changes that principally occurred in the Murray Darling Basin [MDB] via sediments and pollen transported at sea.

I will elaborate on the micropalaeontological and geochemical information we obtained from these cores, in particular on (1) planktic foraminiferal faunal analyses that inform on past oceanic conditions, (2) recovered pollen and charcoal that permit reconstruction of past vegetation spectra, rainfall and fire activity in the MDB, and (3) geochemical analyses of core sediments that can inform on the dynamics of sediment transport in the MDB and are related to atmospheric changes over SE Australia.
