This project will address the NRP goal of responding to climate change and variability by advancing our knowledge and understanding of recent climate change in our region. An investigation of climate change, environmental impact and human adaptation in East Timor over the last 1000 years will improve our understanding of such issues in neighbouring tropical Australia. Our climate is already highly variable and we can expect future climate change to have significant influence both on Australia's environment and her communities. This project has policy development implications and will further enhance Australia's international reputation as a research base for environmental studies.

该项目将通过增进我们对本地区近期气候变化的认识和理解来实现 NRP 应对气候变化和变异性的目标。对东帝汶过去 1000 年来的气候变化、环境影响和人类适应的调查将增进我们对邻近热带澳大利亚此类问题的了解。我们的气候已经非常多变，我们可以预期未来的气候变化将对澳大利亚的环境及其社区产生重大影响。该项目具有政策制定意义，并将进一步提升澳大利亚作为环境研究基地的国际声誉。
