项目摘要

This project examines the link between explosive volcanic eruptions and the annual Nile river summer flooding in antiquity. Large volcanic eruptions can reduce average global temperatures and suppress average global precipitation. This is known to have had dramatic effects on annual rainfall on the Nile watershed in historic times. The human response to this annual flooding, and to its variability over the years, was the major driver of Egyptian history up to the completion of the high dam at Aswan in 1970. This project, a collaboration among historians, scientists, hydrologists, and statisticians, seeks to understand the coupling between the hydrological cycle and human society in Egypt during the Hellenistic era (305 BCE - 30 BCE), a well-documented period of economic, technological and social change with often violent rivalries between major regional powers. The results will also inform our understanding of best-practice responses to the changing climate in the modern world. The project will inform the broad public about human and natural systems and the complex interactions between them at diverse scales, through a traveling exhibition program developed at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. This project will capitalize upon a rare confluence of natural and human archives for Ancient Egypt and the Near East. By comparing rich historical records (papyrus documents and inscriptions) with environmental data and regional climate and hydrologic simulations for repeated abrupt climate events, the research will determine whether and how social dynamics are climate-driven, and whether and how human water management affects regional climate and hydrology. Volcanic eruptions provide tests of human and natural system sensitivity to abrupt shocks because their repeated occurrence allows the identification of systematic relationships in the presence of random variability. The project will make three important contributions: (1) integrate historical data from a wealth of different archives to analyze the connections between climate variability, social unrest, and institutional change during the Hellenistic era; (2) improve knowledge of hydrological responses to volcanic eruptions; (3) document the extent of human impacts on Mediterranean hydrology. Simulations will be used to evaluate the climatic impact of large and sustained volcanism and intensive regional water management. This historical analysis will delineate the mechanisms through which environmental stress influenced state-level behaviors, community responses (such as changes in land and water management), and interstate conflict during the Hellenistic period, and how in return human activities interactively affected soils, land cover, hydrology, and regional climate.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
该项目研究了古代火山爆发和尼罗河每年夏季洪水之间的联系。大规模火山爆发会降低全球平均气温,抑制全球平均降水量。众所周知,这在历史上对尼罗河流域的年降雨量产生了巨大的影响。人类对这种每年一次的洪水的反应,以及多年来的变化,是埃及历史的主要驱动力,直到1970年阿斯旺大坝的建成。该项目是历史学家,科学家,水文学家和统计学家之间的合作,旨在了解希腊化时代(公元前305-公元前30年)埃及水文循环和人类社会之间的耦合,这是一个有据可查的经济,技术和社会变革时期,主要地区大国之间经常发生暴力竞争。研究结果还将为我们了解应对现代世界气候变化的最佳做法提供信息。该项目将通过在耶鲁皮博迪自然历史博物馆开发的巡回展览项目,向广大公众介绍人类和自然系统以及它们之间在不同尺度上的复杂相互作用。该项目将利用古埃及和近东自然和人类档案的罕见融合。通过将丰富的历史记录(纸莎草文件和铭文)与环境数据以及反复发生的突发气候事件的区域气候和水文模拟进行比较,研究将确定社会动态是否以及如何受到气候驱动,以及人类水资源管理是否以及如何影响区域气候和水文。火山爆发可以检验人类和自然系统对突然冲击的敏感性,因为火山爆发的反复发生可以在存在随机变化的情况下确定系统关系。该项目将做出三个重要贡献:(1)整合来自大量不同档案的历史数据,以分析希腊化时代气候变化,社会动荡和制度变迁之间的联系;(2)提高对火山爆发水文响应的认识;(3)记录人类对地中海水文的影响程度。模拟将用于评估大规模和持续的火山活动和密集的区域水管理对气候的影响。这一历史分析将揭示环境压力影响国家行为、社区反应和社会行为的机制,(如土地和水资源管理的变化),以及希腊化时期的国家间冲突,以及人类活动如何反过来对土壤,土地覆盖,水文,该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估,被认为值得支持的搜索.
