Typhoon Haiyan had a historic impact on the Philippines. This rapid-response project, led by a faculty member at the University of Southern Mississippi, will use sediment cores in various sites in the Philippines, particularly locations with the highest associated wind speeds from the event and sites preserving a longer-term geologic record, to put this extreme event into a historic and geologic context. Numerical models will be used to back calculate wind speeds in order to compare Typhoon Haiyan to past events. Overall, this work will contribute to a better understanding of the frequency and magnitude of extreme storms in this region. This work has strong societal relevance, with the potential to place Typhoon Haiyan and similar tropical cyclones in a long term climate context. The results of the study may contribute to the rebuilding process and influence future management and policy decisions. A Filipino collaborator and his student will play a essential roles in the field work and in the interpretation of the results. Two graduate students will be involved in the research. This project is jointly supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences, International Science and Engineering, and the EPSCoR Program.

台风海燕对菲律宾产生了历史性影响。这个快速响应项目由南密西西比大学的一名教员领导，将使用菲律宾各个地点的沉积物岩心，特别是事件相关风速最高的地点和保存长期地质记录的地点，将这一极端事件置于历史和地质背景中。数值模型将用于反算风速，以便将台风海燕与过去的事件进行比较。 总的来说，这项工作将有助于更好地了解该地区极端风暴的频率和强度。这项工作具有很强的社会相关性，有可能将台风海燕和类似的热带气旋置于长期气候背景下。研究结果可能有助于重建过程并影响未来的管理和政策决策。菲律宾合作者和他的学生将在实地工作和结果解释中发挥重要作用。两名研究生将参与这项研究。该项目由海洋科学部、国际科学与工程部和EPSCoR项目联合支持。
