Professor Brad Pillans from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) investigates fossilized pollen at Lake George, New South Wales, Australia. This is part of a series of educational videos on natural and human activities' impact on climate change. 

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'The changing Earth - the cause and impact of Earth hazards'. 

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors: 

Geological, prehistorical and historical records provide evidence (for example, fossils, pollen grains, ice core data, isotopic ratios, indigenous art sites) that climate change has affected different regions and species differently over time (ACSES107)
