East Asian Monsoon response to periods of abrupt global change

这项建议旨在研究东亚季风对气候突变的响应，在气候变暖和变冷的基线状态下。这项研究意义重大，因为它利用了来自日本的独特的、精确测年的沉积物，以及量化时空气候模式的新方法。这项研究将增进对季风降水十年尺度变化的性质和原因的理解，这与限制未来季风的轨迹以及长期干旱和洪水的风险有关。这些发现将使亚洲人民受益，对他们来说，季风具有重大的经济、社会和环境重要性。反过来，通过与亚洲的经济和气候联系，这将使澳大利亚受益。

This proposal aims to investigate the response of the East Asian Monsoon to abrupt climatic change, under baseline states of both warm and cool climate. The research is significant as it utilises unique, precisely dated sediments from Japan, and novel approaches to quantifying spatial and temporal climate patterns. The research will improve understanding of the nature and causes of decadal-scale changes in monsoon precipitation, with relevance for constraining the trajectory of the future monsoon, and the risks of prolonged drought and flood. The findings will benefit the Asian people, for whom the monsoon has major economic, social and environmental importance. In turn, this will benefit Australia, via economic and climatic ties to Asia.
