What wind-blown sediments can tell us about changing landscapes and climate

On 17 March 2026, Associate Professor Kat Fitzsimmons explored what Australian dryland sediments reveal about landscape and hydroclimate change through time.

Focusing on wind-blown sands and lake-margin shorelines, Kat showed how these archives help reconstruct past environmental variability.

The talk highlighted emerging approaches for extracting new insights into Australia’s wet–dry history.
