Coral geochemical response to uplift in the aftermath of the 2005 Nias-Simeulue earthquake.

On 28 March 2005, the Indonesian islands of Nias and Simeulue experienced a powerful M 8.6 earthquake and coseismic uplift and subsidence. In areas of coastal uplift (up to ~ 2.

Antiphase response of the Indonesian-Australian monsoon to millennial-scale events of the last glacial period.

Antiphase behaviour of monsoon systems in alternate hemispheres is well established at yearly and orbital scales in response to alternating sensible heating of continental landmasses. At intermediate timescales without a sensible heating mechanism both in-phase and antiphase behaviours of northern and southern hemisphere monsoon systems are recorded at different places and timescales. At present, there is no continuous, high resolution, precisely dated record of millennial-scale variability of the Indonesian-Australian monsoon during the last glacial period with which to test theories of paleomonsoon behaviour.

Savanna in equatorial Borneo during the late Pleistocene.

Equatorial Southeast Asia is a key region for global climate change. Here, the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP) is a critical driver of atmospheric convection that plays a dominant role in global atmospheric circulation. However, fluctuating sea-levels during the Pleistocene produced the most drastic land-sea area changes on Earth, with the now-drowned continent of Sundaland being exposed as a contiguous landmass for most of the past 2 million years.
