The Asian monsoon and associated river systems supply the water
that sustains a large portion of humanity, and has enabled Asia to
become home to some of the oldest and most productive farming
systems on Earth. This book uses climate data and environmental
models to provide a detailed review of variations in the Asian
monsoon since the mid-Holocene, and its impacts on farming systems
and human settlement. Future changes to the monsoon due to
anthropogenically-driven global warming are also discussed. Faced
with greater rainfall and more cyclones in South Asia, as well as
drying in North China and regional rising sea levels, understanding
how humans have developed resilient strategies in the past to
climate variations is critical. Containing important implications
for the large populations and booming economies in the Indo-Pacific
region, this book is an important resource for researchers and
graduate students studying the climate, environmental history,
agronomy and archaeology of Asia.
