terra australis 32Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia -lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present.Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements.

List of volumes in Terra AustralisRabbit dung dots a lake bottom dry since their coming -only once, last century, after seven inches of rain a farmer had to rescue his sheep by boat.The roo bounces down-slope, a brown branch crackling.The professor's eye, noting the local runoff and what the westerlies do, observes seas that rush in and out of a continent's middle, salt lakes spreading and emptying, hills pimpling up and down with cartoon-like speed, or gullying themselves into extinction, rainforests and deserts zipping back and forth like Tom and Jerry. A human mouse plague swiftly swarms, perhaps soon gone.Impermanent planet. Impermanent surface. All under air and water. The lunette is a wave, a dumper of sand, a collapsing tower in the mad rabbit years when its top blew off and old bones winked through, with a vault's worth of fine stone cores.Once so simply mislaid in sand, now so obligingly sluiced out to the un-subincised world that smiles at stone knives. terra australis 32Altered Ecologies: Fire, climate and human influence on terrestrial landscapes v You might as well offer your table knife to a carpenter.Cane grass and the Dreamtime's stone fight the eroding rivulets together.

“…However, pollen is still extremely useful as it is the only microfossil, which provides climate or chrono-horizon information in addition to an indicative meaning. As Freund et al (2004) highlight, the use of pollen in sea-level reconstructions in temperate regions is hindered by the rather coarse resolution of the assemblages. One example is Plantago maritima, which is indicative of a low marsh environment but due to its ubiquitous pollen dispersal, is found throughout the marsh environment.…”

“…Early sea-level research relied heavily on the use of marsh pollen as a proxy for sea-level, with the first sea-level curve produced by God win ( 1940) in the English fenland. Developments within the last 30 years in the use of the vertical zonations of foraminifera (Scott and Medioli, 1978) and diatoms (Zong 1997) have resulted in a movement away from pollen as a sealevel proxy in the last ten years, partly due to the coarse resolution of pollen assemblages (Freund et al, 2004) and its apparent unsuitability as a quantitative approach to sea-level reconstruction. Work by Horton et al (2005a) and Debenay et al (2004) have shown that Foraminifera are capable of reconstructing sea level in tropical environments, however the fossil record is prone to preservation issues with Debenay et al (2004) stating that foraminifera in mangrove environments are "dramatically affected by taphonomic processes".…”

“…In coastal peatlands, the changing interface between the marine and terrestrial landscape strongly influences peatland water levels and water quality (Freund et al 2004). Diatoms are regarded as very sensitive indicators of changes in water quality (Stoermer and Smol 1999) and are useful tools to describe palaeoenvironmental conditions in humiferous as well as in clastic lithofacies, such as those that accumulate in coastal lagoons.…”
