Landscapes and Seascapes: Linkage between Marine and Terrestrial Environments and Human Populations in the North Atlantic (Iceland Sector). A Contribution to the HARC Initiative

该项目将分析气候和环境变化对冰岛周围北大西洋地区陆地和海洋生产力及可持续性的影响。 冰岛的历史记录描述了上个世纪的渔业渔获量、干草和农场库存战略。 这些将与气候，环境和海洋记录一起进行评估，以确定是否发生相关变化。 将通过对农民和渔民的调查来评估社会经济因素。 该项目将有助于我们了解气候、生态系统生产力和社会经济适应之间的联系，这种了解将有助于更好地预测未来气候变化的影响。

This project will analyze the impacts of climate and environmental change on land and marine productivity and sustainability in the North Atlantic region around Iceland. Historical records from Iceland describe fisheries catches and hay and farm stock strategies over the last century. These will be evaluated in conjunction with climate, environmental, and oceanographic records to see if associated changes occur. Socio-economic factors will be evaluated by surveys of farmers and fishers. The project will contribute to our understanding of linkages between climate, ecosystem productivity and socio-economic adaptation and this understanding will allow better prediction of future climate change impacts.
