Typhoons Drive Inland Disasters Three Millennia Ago
Researchers led by Ke Ding publish in Science Advances that intensified typhoon activity around 3000 years before present drove severe climate extremes and social disruption in inland China, including the Central Plains and Chengdu Plain. They combined paleoclimate reconstructions, quantitative analysis of roughly 55,000 oracle bone inscriptions, and AI-plus-physics model simulations to attribute floods and societal impacts to typhoon-induced events, highlighting implications for modern preparedness.
