  • The Influence of Climate on the First European Settlement of Australia: A Comparison of Weather Journals, Documentary Data and Palaeoclimate Records, 1788–1793

    Joëlle Gergis, Don Garden et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental History2010Cited by: 4

    This essay introduces a new technique to improve the reliability of the interpretation of how weather and climatic factors have influenced past societies. Using the case of first European settlement in Australia, we argue that historians have largely ignored or misconstrued the influence of climate on past societies. We discuss how cool, wet weather during 1788–1790 (a La Niña) and the drought conditions of 1791–1793 (an El Niño) compromised init…
