I had a great time at the WISH workshop at Uni Canterbury field station. Australian and NZ researchers got together to discuss warm intervals in the southern hemisphere and how we can progress our knowledge on interglacials, rates of change and impacts on people #climatechange #palaeoclimatology

New study challenges a major theory on why some kangaroos mysteriously went extinct

Roughly 40,000 years ago, the short-faced cousins of modern kangaroos died out. The cause has been the subject of fierce debate.

Our new study out in @ScienceAdvances shows human presence in Tasmania at least 41,600 years ago, nearly 2000 years earlier than previously thought, and Aboriginal people burned and used wet forests. Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Landscape burning facilitated Aboriginal migration into Lutruwita/Tasmania 41,600 years ago

Paleoecological records show that Aboriginal people burned wet forest to first settle in Tasmania 41,600 years ago.
