Sunburnt Country – Joëlle Gergis at the Australian Meteorological & Oceanographic Society

Join the Australian Meteorological & Oceanographic Society (Tas) as they welcome the award-winning climate scientist and writer Dr Joëlle Gergis from the University of Melbourne.

Dr Gergis's new book Sunburnt Country pieces together Australia’s climate history for the first time. It uncovers a continent long vulnerable to climate extremes and variability. It gives an unparalleled perspective on how human activities have altered patterns that have been with us for millions of years, and what climate change looks like in our own backyard.

Sunburnt Country highlights the impact of a warming planet on Australian lifestyles and ecosystems and the power we all have to shape future life on Earth.
