To deepen contemporary debates about environment and climate, CEH is building on the successful National Academies Forum and book, A Change in the Weather: Climate and Culture in Australia (2005). This was a result of an ARC Linkage Project involving ANU, NMA and the Bureau of Meteorology. Other publications resulting from this collaboration were:
Tim Sherratt, Inigo Jones: The Weather Prophet, Metarch Papers no. 16, Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Melbourne, 2007.
Kirsty Douglas, Under such Sunny Skies: Understanding Weather in Colonial Australia, 1860-1901, Metarch Papers, No.17, Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Melbourne, 2007.
ANU PhD student, Chris O’Brien, is researching a History of Weather in the Top End.
