AbstractThis article considers the impact on southern Fujian of the trade with and migration to the Spanish Philippines by examining the links of the Chinese there with their native places, particularly in the half century after the resumption of Chinese maritime trade in 1684. To understand the local history of Minnan, it is necessary to look both at the extensive network of Minnanese in Southeast Asia (Nanyang) and China, and at the important social and economic distinctions between Zhangzhou and Quanzhou prefectures in Fujian. Cet article fait l'analyse des eff ets sur le sud du Fujian (Minnan) du commerce avec et la migration aux Philippines en examinant les liens des Chinois là avec leur pays natal, particulièrement pendant les cinquant ans suivant la reprise du commerce maritime chinois en 1684. Pour comprendre l'histoire locale du Minnan il faut examiner à la fois le réseau étendu des naturels du Minnan qui se trouvaient en l'Asie du sud-est (Nanyang) et en Chine, et les distinctions économiques et sociales entre les préfectures de Zhangzhou et Quanzhou au Fujian.

Abstract. Over recent decades oil palm plantations have rapidly expanded across Southeast Asia (SEA). According to the United Nations, oil palm production in SEA increased by a factor of 3 from 1995 to 2010. We investigate the impacts of current (2010) and future (2020) oil palm expansion in SEA on surface-atmosphere exchange and the resulting air quality in the region. For this purpose, we use satellite data, high-resolution land maps, and the chemical transport model GEOS-Chem. Relative to a no oil palm plantation scenario (~ 1990), overall simulated isoprene emissions in the region increase by 13 % due to oil palm plantations in 2010 and a further 11 % by 2020. In addition, the expansion of palm plantations leads to local increases in ozone deposition velocities of up to 20 %. The net result of these changes is that oil palm expansion in SEA increases surface O3 by up to 3.5 ppbv over dense urban regions, and could rise more than 4.5 ppbv above baseline levels by 2020. Biogenic secondary organic aerosol loadings also increase by up to 1 μg m−3 due to oil palm expansion, and could increase a further 2.5 μg m−3 by 2020. Our analysis indicates that while the impact of recent oil palm expansion on air quality in the region has been significant, the retrieval error and sensitivity of the current constellation of satellite measurements limit our ability to observe these impacts from space. Oil palm expansion is likely to continue to degrade air quality in the region in the coming decade and hinder efforts to achieve air quality regulations in major urban areas such as Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

The Impact

This paper examines the impact of the typhoons generated in the Northwest Pacific Ocean and affecting East/Southeast Asia on the number of human fatalities using the typhoon data from 1980 to 2016 and whether future typhoons, likely more intense due to global warming, will dramatically increase human fatalities. The best-track data and the tropical cyclone (TC) reports show that there was no change in the intensity of cyclones during this time period, nor in the number of fatalities. An application of a negative binomial count-data model of the number of TC fatalities shows that the number of fatalities increases by 1.8 percent in response to a one-unit increase in TC intensity, expressed in terms of the minimum central pressure (MCP), but the number of fatalities also decreases by 0.53 percent in response to a one-unit increase in income per capita. In the future year 2100, a 5 millibar decrease in MCP, i.e., an increase in TC intensity, is predicted to increase the number of fatalities by 9 percent from the present fatality value, while a 10 millibar decrease to increase it by 18 percent. However, an increase in income per capita by 1 percent annually coupled with a 10 millibar decrease in the MCP is predicted to decrease the number of fatalities by 59 percent of the present number of fatalities. A surprisingly high income elasticity in the Northwest Pacific is attributed to the difference between Japan and the Philippines, two island nations both heavily affected by typhoons. The income per capita in Japan is more than 20 times than that of the Philippines, which makes the historical number of fatalities in each cyclone landfall more than 20 times smaller in the former, due to superb historical adaptations.
