This project plans to use stalagmites from the South–West Pacific to generate continuous rainfall records for the last 2000 years. Stalagmites contain uncorrupted data that are not available in other archives, and provide unparalleled accurate chronologies. The spatial and temporal variations of the data may highlight the interplay of climate drivers, such as El Niño Southern Oscillation, and how they change the distribution of rainfall in the Pacific. This knowledge would increase our scientific understanding and enable better predictions of the recurrence of droughts and wet events in Australia.

该项目计划使用西南太平洋的石笋来产生过去2000年的连续降雨记录。石笋包含了其他档案馆所没有的完整数据，并提供了无与伦比的准确年表。数据的空间和时间变化可能突出了厄尔尼诺南方涛动等气候驱动因素的相互作用，以及它们如何改变太平洋降雨量的分布。这些知识将增加我们的科学认识，并使我们能够更好地预测澳大利亚干旱和潮湿事件的复发。
