Abstract: Palaeoclimate research relevant to marine systems inAustralia includes the collection and analysis of: (a)shallow-water and deep-sea corals, which provide high resolutionarchives, (b) deep-sea sediment and ice cores,which span longer time scales, and (c) palaeoclimatemodelling, which gives us insights into mechanisms,dynamics and thresholds underlying past climatestates. Palaeoclimate research in Australia is matureand well recognised internationally. To further advanceAustralian palaeoclimate research, we must addressmajor challenges that include insufficient research vesselaccess, insufficient targeted research funding, as well asthe lack of a well funded national centre to coordinateresearch efforts (e.g. academic institution or ARC Centreof Excellence for Palaeoclimate Research).
