South-east Queensland has among the fastest growing populations in Australia. It has also experienced severe drought lasting more than a decade. These combined pressures have led to the expenditure of more than $9 Billion on water resource development. However, it is not known whether the current drought is part of a natural cycle (or, importantly, if it represents the worst extremes in such a cycle). We will determine whether this is the case and, in doing so, contribute to national and international debates about the role of human-induced vs natural climate change.

昆士兰东南部是澳大利亚人口增长最快的地区之一。它还经历了持续十多年的严重干旱。这些共同的压力导致了90多亿美元用于水资源开发。然而，目前尚不清楚当前的干旱是否是自然循环的一部分（或者，重要的是，它是否代表了这种循环中最恶劣的极端情况）。我们将确定情况是否如此，并在这样做的过程中，为有关人为与自然气候变化的作用的国内和国际辩论做出贡献。
