Historical Dimensions of Sustainability in the N. Atlantic ca. 2,000 BP- Present

该提案旨在支持一个跨学科的国际研究小组，研究过去2000年来北大西洋地区人类/环境的相互作用。北大西洋生物文化组织（NABO）已经建立了一个由来自40多个组织和10个国家的研究人员组成的网络。在历史生态学的理论指导下，NABO的工作人员将历史、考古和民族志数据与来自冰芯、花粉分析、骨骼、昆虫和其他来源的近期古环境数据相结合。总体目标是发展一种综合分析方法，以解决气候对人类的影响、人类对环境的影响以及人类相互作用对环境的影响等复杂问题。需要有系统的工作会议来推进美国和国际人类对全球变化的研究。

ABSTRACT OPP-9523519 McGovern/Amorosi/Ogilvie This proposal is for support of an interdisciplinary, international research group studying human/environmental interactions over the past 2000 years in the North Atlantic region. The North Atlantic Biocultural Organization (NABO) has developed a network of researchers from over 40 organizations and ten nations. Operating under the theoretical orientation of historical ecology, NABO workers are integrating historical, archaeological and ethnographic data with recent paleoenvironmental data derived from ice-cores, pollen analysis, bones, insects and other sources. The overarching goal is to develop an integrated analytical approach to complex problems of climate impact on humans, human impacts on the environment, and the environmental effects of humans' interactions with each other. Systematic working meetings are needed to advance US and international human dimensions of global change research.
