Picture people 5,650 years ago gorging on huge amounts of beef, smashing large decorated bowls that may have held broth or other liquids and possibly smashing human skulls.
The Murray River is Australia's longest river, draining the continent's largest exoreic catchment. The river is Australia's most economically valuable, but is highly degraded by water extraction. The Murray River's terminal lakes, Lakes Alexandrina and Albert, formed following the mid-Holocene marine transgression. These lakes are part of one of the most ecologically important wetland ecosystems on the Australian continent and are recognised as internationally significant by the Ramsar Convention. As a result of upstream water extraction, the Lower Lakes are threatened by rising salinity. To combat this threat, water is allocated to maintain the Lower Lakes as freshwater ecosystems. This practice is part of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, one of the largest environmental water allocation plans in the world. The water allocations and the natural history of the Lower Lakes are the subject of academic and public debate, since the water would otherwise be used for consum
While shorelines around playa lakes have traditionally played a key role for reconstructing late Quaternary megalakes in drylands, little attention has been given to recent shorelines associated with episodic filling events of modern ephemeral playa lakes such as Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre in central Australia. We here present results from geomorphic mapping around the playa margin of Lake Eyre North and interpret these data regarding timescales and drivers of shoreline processes. The diversity and distribution of landforms point to lithology and variations in wave energies as major controls on large-scale shoreline geomorphology. Our results suggest that the presence or absence of shoreline features is an incomplete and inaccurate indicator of past lake levels. Instead, wave-built landforms in ephemeral playa lake settings need to be considered threshold-related phenomena, with differences in frequency, magnitude and rate of water level change leading to vertically differing potential for
