Monsoon extremes, environmental shifts, and catastrophic volcanic eruptions: quantifying impacts on the early human history of southern Australasia

澳大利亚悠久而多样的人类历史与地球上最伟大的气候系统的巧合，为澳大利亚和印度尼西亚社区提供了无与伦比的科学发现机会。我们的研究将提高对全球气候变化、环境变化、火山灾难及其在澳大利亚早期人类迁徙和灭绝中的作用的理解。研究结果的意义将延伸到现代世界，在这个世界上，气候和环境改变了人类的行为，也改变了人类的行为。整合澳大利亚和印度尼西亚的研究优势将有助于改善科学、教育和培训方面的双边关系，并使公众参与到科学发现的兴奋中来。

The coincidence of a long, diverse Australasian human history with Earth's greatest climate systems presents the Australian and Indonesian communities with unrivalled opportunities for scientific discovery. Our study will improve understanding of global climate change, environmental shifts, volcanic catastrophes, and their role in early human dispersal, and extinction, in Australasia. The significance of the results will extend to the modern world, where human behaviour modifies, and is modified by, climate and environment. Integration of research strengths in Australia and Indonesia will contribute to an improved bilateral relationship in science, education, and training, and engage the public in the excitement of scientific discovery.
