项目摘要
Earth is experiencing clear warming toward climate states humans have not seen since the stone age. Adaptation to these changes will be challenging. Drylands (water-limited regions) cover almost half of Earth's land surfaces, supporting almost 40% of the world's population. The International Panel on Climate Change predicts further dryland aridification by the end of this century, plunging populations already experiencing water shortages into crisis. However, global climate models disagree in both the direction and scale of future hydroclimate change and only suggest medium confidence for predicted outcomes. Further, previously warm and high-CO2 periods in Earth's geological history, such as the late Pliocene (~3 Ma), almost uniformly suggest more humidity in dryland regions during globally warmer conditions. This "Dryland Hydroclimate Paradox" must be urgently addressed to improve our forecast on the climate impacts of future climate change in global dryland regions.The geological past may be the best, indeed only, tool to understand how Earth's processes operate under previously warmer and colder climate states, allowing us to identify the key drivers controlling aridity in global subtropical zones. The proposed research will exploit the emerging potential of dryland cave deposits (e.g. stalagmites) to be used as 'ancient-rain gauges', switching on when there is enough rainfall and recording the exact timing of past wet periods. Dating stalagmites allows us to identify exactly when subtropical zones were more humid in the past and under what conditions this occurred (globally warmer or cooler climate states). Project HYRAX will deliver an unprecedented dataset of changes in positive hydro-balance in subtropical drylands over the last ~6 million years by using a unique combination of radiometric dating and statistical evaluation techniques. As speleothems form they also trap other useful information that can be used as a proxy for the environmental conditions at the time of formation. Using a combination of these clues trapped and preserved in speleothems for millions of years such as: fossil pollen, fossil water and fossil micro-organisms, the environment at the time the stalagmite grew will be reconstructed. This will deliver unique quantitative information about the local vegetation, rainfall composition and amount and surface temperature during past wet periods. Combining unique records, cutting edge techniques, state of the art analytical approaches and proxy system modelling techniques, this project will translate this information into real world climate data, allowing us to test how skilful models are in predicting these ancient environments. This will be a significant leap forward in our understanding of how drylands respond to changes in global temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentrations. My central aim is to provide much needed benchmarks for terrestrial hydroclimate simulations and data-model comparison to better understand the physics underlying change in dryland climate in the future. Without this, it will remain challenging for stakeholders to develop mitigation targets and government policies.
地球正在经历明显的气候变暖,这是人类自石器时代以来从未见过的。适应这些变化将是一项挑战。干旱地区(水资源有限的地区)几乎覆盖了地球陆地表面的一半,支撑着世界上近40%的人口。国际气候变化专门委员会预测,到本世纪末,旱地将进一步干旱,使已经缺水的人口陷入危机。然而,全球气候模型在未来水文气候变化的方向和规模上都存在分歧,并且对预测结果的置信度仅为中等。此外,地球地质历史上以前温暖和高CO2的时期,如上新世晚期(约3 Ma),几乎一致表明在全球变暖的条件下,旱地地区的湿度更大。这种“旱地水文气候异常”必须紧急解决,以改善我们对全球旱地地区未来气候变化的气候影响的预测,地质过去可能是最好的,事实上是唯一的,了解地球的过程如何在以前温暖和寒冷的气候状态下运作的工具,使我们能够确定控制全球亚热带地区干旱的关键驱动因素。拟议中的研究将利用旱地洞穴沉积物(例如石笋)作为“古代雨量计”的新潜力,在降雨量足够时开启,并记录过去潮湿时期的确切时间。石笋的年代测定使我们能够准确地确定过去亚热带地区何时更潮湿,以及在什么条件下发生的(全球气候变暖或变冷)。HYRAX项目将通过使用独特的放射性测年和统计评价技术相结合的方法,提供一个前所未有的亚热带旱地近600万年来正水平衡变化的数据集。随着洞穴沉积物的形成,它们还捕获了其他有用的信息,这些信息可以用作形成时环境条件的代表。利用数百万年来在洞穴中捕获和保存的这些线索的组合,例如:化石花粉,化石水和化石微生物,石笋生长时的环境将被重建。这将提供有关当地植被、降雨组成和数量以及过去潮湿时期地表温度的独特定量信息。结合独特的记录,尖端技术,最先进的分析方法和代理系统建模技术,该项目将把这些信息转化为真实的世界气候数据,使我们能够测试模型在预测这些古老环境方面的技巧。这将是我们对旱地如何应对全球气温和大气CO2浓度变化的理解的一个重大飞跃。我的主要目标是提供急需的基准陆地水文气候模拟和数据模型比较,以更好地了解物理基础的旱地气候变化在未来。如果没有这一点,利益攸关方制定减缓目标和政府政策将仍然具有挑战性。
