Human responses to post-glacial sea level rise at Red Lily, Arnhem Land (ARC Linkage Administered by Griffith Uni) (2026-2031)
Abstract
This project combines Western science with traditional Knowledge to understand human responses to the Last Glacial Maximum and post-glacial sea level rise at Red Lily Lagoon, Arnhem Land, a region known for its archaeology, rock art and biodiversity. The project expects to produce new knowledge of human/environment interactions during a period of significant climate change, enhance Traditional Owners¿ capacity to manage their heritage, attract 20 PhD, Masters and Honours students, and develop new understanding of the impact of future climate change and sea level rise on environments and heritage. This should provide significant benefits by documenting National Heritage listed sites and in preparing for future climate change in the region.
