摘要：The RhineLUCIFS project is part of the
LUCIFS activity (Land Use and Climate Interactions
with Fluvial Systems) of PAGES
Focus 4. RhineLUCIFS is concerned with
human-environment interactions in the
Rhine catchment (185,000 km2) during
the period of agriculture, and includes research
groups from archeology, geomorphology
and historical geography. Sediment
budget approaches represent the
central analytical framework for understanding
the complex forcing-response
relationships in the Rhine system. In order
to quantitatively link sediment transfer
along the sediment cascade with human
activities, new methods of quantifying human
impact have been sought. A further
key element has been the development
of spatio-temporal scaling methodologies
through the regionalization of local casestudies
of human and climatic drivers.
