“…McGlone and Wilmshurst (1999) suggested that as the subtropical high retreated northwards from its early-Holocene position, temperatures gradually declined. The westerlies also increased through the Holocene (Shulmeister et al 2004) and the gradual decline of podocarp forests may reflect both a gradual cooling, and more significantly, an increase in the occurrence of droughts as eastern areas dried out under the enhanced westerly flow.…”

“…Dodson and Thom 1992). Research by Hesse et al (2004) indicates extreme conditions during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), with dune formation taking place on the Blue Mountains, suggesting high aridity and sparse vegetation cover. Dune formation was also active on the coast itself; at Kurnell, strong westerlies blew up dunes from the exposed bed of Botany Bay (Lees 2006).…”

“…Evidence for enhanced ocean upwelling east of New Zealand (Fenner et al, 1992;Weaver et al, 1998) and maxima in dust flux (Thiede, 1979;Stewart and Neall, 1984;Carter et al, 1995) have generally been attributed to persistent and strong westerly flow during the LGM (e.g. Markgraf et al, 1992;Shulmeister et al, 2004). Glacio-eustatic sea level lowering increased the relative height of the Southern Alps which in turn intensified shows the physical relationship between mean monthly temperature and the snow-rain ratio (Q S ) as derived empirically from the Swiss Alps (Sevruk, 1992).…”

“…Recent studies have suggested relatively wet conditions in New Zealand associated with enhanced Westerlies during the LGM (e.g. Eden and Hammond, 2003;Shulmeister et al, 2004) and LGIT (e.g. Pepper et al, 2004), while others argue that humidity was somewhat reduced during glacial periods (e.g.…”
