Title
Geology: Flooding on the Silk Road.
Abstract
This article discusses research conducted by Jian Sheng Chen of Hohai University and Chi-yuen Wang of the University of California, Berkeley on increased flooding taking place in northwestern China along a portion of the former Silk Road. Through isotopic analysis, they traced the water to glaciers that are melting as a result of climatic warming.
