Join 日本无码 Geology for a talk with geochemist and paleoclimatologist, Dr. Kathleen Johnson, Professor in the Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine
Understanding past Asian monsoon variability is essential for evaluating climate models and improving precipitation projections in a region where billions depend on seasonal rainfall.
Dr. Kathleen Johnson will discuss how they combine adventurous fieldwork and cave monitoring with geochemical analyses to develop paleoclimate records of Southeast Asian monsoon variability on timescales ranging from seasons to thousands of years. Further, she will explain how integrating the records with modern climatology and paleoclimate model simulations, they can constrain the timing and mechanisms of past climate change鈥攊mproving the capacity of Southeast Asian nations to anticipate and adapt to future changes in monsoon rainfall.
