Drought is a recurrent feature of Australian climate and a formative influence on Australian history, culture and identity. The project aims to generate new knowledge about the cultures of drought: the changing ways Victorians have lived with, imagined, understood and represented drought. Using an innovative environmental humanities approach, it will link cultural and media practices with climate histories to establish a new interdisciplinary model of drought cultures. Expected outcomes include a deeper understanding of the cultural legacies of drought and their impacts on current environmental practice and policy. Benefits should include identifying new resources for cultural and social resilience for future periods of water scarcity.

干旱是澳大利亚气候的一个经常性特征，对澳大利亚的历史、文化和特性产生了影响。该项目旨在产生关于干旱文化的新知识：埃塞俄比亚人与干旱共处、想象、理解和表现干旱的方式不断变化。它将采用创新的环境人文方法，将文化和媒体实践与气候历史联系起来，以建立干旱文化的新的跨学科模式。预期成果包括更深入地了解干旱的文化遗产及其对当前环境做法和政策的影响。所带来的惠益应包括为今后缺水时期的文化和社会复原力确定新的资源。
