This book examines relationships between climate-hydrological
changes and other phenomena including land use and natural
disasters during the Holocene and recent past. In particular,
periods of rapid climatic shifts such as global warming and global
cooling are examined through paleohydrological and other studies of
various lake-catchment systems in East Asia, from Mongolia in the
north to Taiwan in the south. A number of different research
techniques are used in the work presented here, including sediment
analysis and optically stimulated luminescence dating and the
reader learns how the lake-catchment system functions as a "proxy
observatory" for past and present environmental monitoring. The
lake catchments studied by the authors of this volume are under
similar climatic conditions, i.e., under the East Asia monsoon,
with some systematic difference in climatic factors. Both proxy and
observation data are available for the surrounding countries'
provisions against natural disasters that are related to
climate-hydrological events and readers will see how present
instrumental observation data can be connected to past proxy data
(sediment information) in the system.
