Compound climate extremes driving recent sub-continental tree mortality in northern Australia have no precedent in recent centuries

Recent climate extremes alter alpine lake ecosystems.

Here, we show that alpine lake ecosystems are responsive to interannual variation in climate, based on long-term limnological and meteorological data from the Canadian Rockies. In the 2000s, in years with colder winter temperatures, higher winter snowfall, later snowmelt, shorter ice-free seasons, and dryer summers, relative to the 1990s, alpine lakes became clearer, warmer, and mixed to deeper...

Recent Trends in Maternal Mortality in Northern Ireland

Tree Rings Show Recent High Summer-Autumn Precipitation in Northwest Australia Is Unprecedented within the Last Two Centuries

An understanding of past hydroclimatic variability is critical to resolving the significance of recent recorded trends in Australian precipitation and informing climate models. Our aim was to reconstruct past hydroclimatic variability in semi-arid northwest Australia to provide a longer context within which to examine a recent period of unusually high summer-autumn precipitation. We developed a...

6. Aboriginal child mortality in Australia: Recent levels and covariates

The subject of infant and child survival continues to be of great interest to policy makers, health planners, social and bio-medical researchers as well as communities and interest groups around the world. Overall, Australia is one of the healthiest and safest countries for young children to live with an infant mortality rate of less than six per thousand live births and an under-five mortality...
