Understanding past climate and environmental change is crucial to predicting the potential wider implications of anthropogenic climate change. Arid and semi‐arid regions are particularly vulnerable due to the fine balance between water availability and societal demands. Should future ...
Recently, techniques for obtaining empirical climate and environmental reconstruction data have become increasingly more accessible and quicker to obtain. We are now able to collect time-integrated materials (lake cores, peat and mire deposits) that can be dated accurately and analysed for a ...
Global warming is causing significant changes in rainfall, water availability, and agricultural productivity across tropical South America, increasing poverty and leading to migration out of rural areas. Enhanced adaptation strategies to alleviate the impact of climate change are urgently needed ...
The PastPorts project will focus on two connected overarching goals: 1) Conducting fundamental research assessing the isotopic ecology of the Caribbean region; and 2) Determining the geographic origins of ancient migrants. These goals will be achieved by refining and integrating several ...
The dog was the first species to be domesticated by humans, and is the only animal that evolved alongside us through the major lifestyle changes of the last ~10,000 years, including the rise of agriculture. This project will use whole-genome sequencing technologies to ask: how have humans changed ...
