North Atlantic Biocultural Coordination and Research Project

斯堪的纳维亚移民在哥伦布之前500年就在北大西洋的岛屿上殖民了。他们将欧洲的经济和文化引入脆弱的北极陆地和海洋生态系统，随着时间的推移，他们遭受了生态破坏、人口减少和物种灭绝的后果。关于这些人类影响的北欧考古、历史和生态数据在环极世界是独一无二的，与我们对全球变化的理解高度相关。这个为期五年的项目旨在协调、整合并通过案例研究分析来自北大西洋地区的复杂的多学科数据。这项努力将大大提高10个国家个别研究项目的价值，并与北方渔业和农业的应用研究直接相关。

Scandinavian settlers colonized the islands of the North Atlantic 500 years before Columbus. They introduced European economies and culture into fragile Arctic terrestrial and marine ecosystems and over time suffered the consequences of ecological damage, human population decreases and extinctions. The Nordic archaeological, historical and ecological data on these human impacts is unique in the circumpolar world and highly relevant to our understanding of global change. This five year project seeks to coordinate, integrate and, through case studies, analyze the complex multi- disciplinary data from the North Atlantic region. This effort will greatly enhance the value of individual research projects in 10 countries, and is of direct relevance to applied studies of fisheries and agriculture in the north.
