AN INTEGRATED MULTI-PROXY APPROACH TO THE LATE PLEISTOCENE LANDSCAPES AND ENVIRONMENTS OF IRELAND AND SCOTLAND, AND THE POTENTIALS FOR HUMAN AND FAUNA

为了对现有的环境数据集作出切实的贡献，我们打算在苏格兰晚更新世活动的已知地点附近取一些岩芯。第一项任务将是整理和整理数据，证明晚更新世地貌和环境的发展和变化的性质。还有必要概述人类和动物在景观中运动和重新定居的性质，有利于这些过程的条件，以及这些事件在考古和环境方面的潜在标志。它的目的是在田野工作方面尽可能与晚更新世考古遗址接触，以扩大对空间与环境背景相互作用的了解。这项研究的影响将是深刻的，就理解早期人与环境相互作用的发展，以及进一步在时间和环境中重新殖民(人和动物)的位置。通过了解早期对环境的影响和与环境的关系，可以制定长期管理战略，并与现代景观建立更深层次的联系。该项目将进一步从纯粹的学术成果延伸到创造性的渠道，并有望成为一种长期的视觉互动形式，可能的形式是绘制潜在的人类和动物群运动的在线模型(多情景方法)。考虑到创造性输出，可以考虑数据的艺术/视觉呈现，例如在图示的叙事指南中。科学交流是我的爱好，所以我的博士学位的发展将被一个博客和相应的播客记录下来，并将为利益相关者开发一个信息包，以增加我研究的可及性。我的研究的完整性的一个不可或缺的方面是对公平原则的问责和对开放科学实践的奉献。

In order to make a tangible contribution to extant environmental datasets it is the intention that a number of cores be taken in relative proximity to known sites of Late Pleistocene activity in Scotland. The first task will be collation and curation of data attesting to the nature of development and change in Late Pleistocene landscapes and environments. It will also be necessary to profile the nature of human and faunal movement and recolonisation within landscapes, the conditions which are conducive to these processes and potential markers for these events archaeologically and environmentally. It is the intention that Late Pleistocene archaeological sites be engaged with wherever possible in regard to fieldwork, in order to expand understanding of spatial interactions with environmental contexts. The impact of this research will be profound in terms of understanding the development of early human-environment interactions and further to this the placement of recolonisations (human and faunal) temporally and situationally. Through an understanding of early impact on and relation to environments, strategies for long-term management and a deeper connection to modern landscapes can develop. This project will extend further from a purely academic output to creative outlets and hopefully a long-term visual interactive format, potentially in the form of an online model mapping potential human and faunal movement (Multiple Scenario Approach). Considering creative outputs, artistic/visual presentations of the data may be considered, in for example an illustrated narrative guide. Science communication is a passion of mine, so the development of my PhD will be documented by a blog and accompanying podcast and an information packet for stakeholders will be developed, to increase accessibility to my research. An integral aspect of the integrity of my research is accountability to FAIR Principles and dedication to the practice of open science.
