Short summary
Thirty-six borehole temperature–depth profiles were analysed to reconstruct the ground surface temperature history (GSTH) of eastern Tasmania for the past 5 centuries. Temperature changes were greatest around the north-east coast and decreased towards midland Tasmania. Average GSTH reconstructed from Tasmanian boreholes shows temperature increases of about 1.2 ± 0.2 °C during the past 5 centuries.
