Summary:"This volume provides a comprehensive review of the effects of climate variability on hydrological and human systems in the Holocene (approximately the last 10,000 years of pre-history and history), in various parts of the world. The book concentrates on the regions bordering the Mediterranean Sea to the east and north, the western and central parts of Europe, China, Japan, West and South Africa, and the southwestern USA. The main conclusion is that global warming will bring about a decrease in precipitation in the monsoon (sub-tropical and tropical climates) regions." "Climate Changes during the Holocene and their Impact on Hydrological Systems will be of value to researchers and professionals in hydrology, climatology, geology and historical geography."--BOOK JACKET.
