Quotes "Australia is the land of drought and flooding rains, and in a recent paper we’ve shown that’s been the case for more than 500 years." "Even as people change the climate by adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, variability will continue to play a large role in Australia’s climate." "Trees and corals are sensitive to their environments. For example, trees grow less in dry years and more in wet years." 500 years of drought and flood: trees and corals reveal Australia’s climate history.
