This investigation of the history and development of the Australian monsoon will provide much needed information for the prediction of future climatic changes in the Australasian region and beyond. Furthermore, our work will elucidate the impact of current north Australian fire regimes on the strength of the Australian monsoon that is so critical to the environment and economy of the north Australian region, a region that produces wealth for Australia out of proportion to its population. The work has important policy implications for water and fire management in Northern Australia and is significant to aboriginals, pastoralists and other community groups.

这项对澳大利亚季风历史和发展的调查将为预测澳大拉西亚地区和其他地区未来的气候变化提供急需的信息。此外，我们的工作将阐明当前澳大利亚北部火灾制度对澳大利亚季风强度的影响，这对澳大利亚北部地区的环境和经济至关重要，该地区为澳大利亚创造了与其人口比例不成比例的财富。这项工作对澳大利亚北部的水和火灾管理具有重要的政策意义，并对土著、牧民和其他社区团体具有重要意义。
