Investigations of sand beach ridges in northern Australia will considerably reduce the impact of future tropical cyclones on communities. These ridges record a detailed history of cyclones over the past 5,000 years. Due to the great length of record we will now be able to identify cycles of cyclone activity, which will allow us to better predict the consequences of these hazards under an enhanced greenhouse climate and reduce the threat to human life and economic loss.

对澳大利亚北部沙滩山脊的调查将大大减少未来热带气旋对社区的影响。这些山脊详细记录了过去五千年来的气旋历史。由于记录的长度很长，我们现在能够确定气旋活动的周期，这将使我们能够更好地预测在温室气候增强的情况下这些危害的后果，并减少对人类生命和经济损失的威胁。
