Abstract: Australasia lies at an important crossroads on the planet. To the north lies the tropical Indo-Pacific warm pool, the warmest stretch of water on Earth. To the south lies the Southern Ocean and the ice sheets of Antarctica. Australasia covers almost all climatic zones and environments from rainforests to deserts, from glaciated mountains to low lying coastal plains, and from coral reefs to the deep ocean. Some of these regions preserve continuous paleoclimate records in lakes, speleothems, and deep marine environments, while others only provide intermittent data such as moraines, sand dunes, fluvial deposits and lake shorelines. This can create major gaps and challenges for understanding past climate variability. This session will focus on developments that meet the challenges that have hindered understanding of Australasian climate and environmental changes. In particular, we invite presentations that focus on making estimates of climate more quantitative and improving chronologies of climate change. We particularly welcome presentations from Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific on climate change from the last glacial maximum through to the late Holocene. We also encourage regional model-data comparisons.
