Abstract

Australasia in the firing line Detailed climatic reconstructions of the past 6,300 years from massive corals document previously unknown changes in the Indian Ocean Dipole — a climatic oscillation that has profound impacts on rainfall in the Indian Ocean region. These new records reveal an unexpected connection between protracted droughts in Indonesia and periods of strong Asian monsoon rainfall. Future changes in Asian monsoon strength are therefore likely to have more widespread consequences than previously forecast. Predictions of changing monsoon strength have focused mainly on the impact on Asia and India, but the new data point to adverse consequences throughout Australasia.
