Abstract:
On November 28, the Harvard Initiative
for the Science of the Human
Past and the Harvard University Center
for the Environment (HUCE) co-sponsored
a day-long workshop on “Climate
Change and Human Response in the
History of Western Eurasia, AD 1-1600.”
Convened and chaired by Michael Mc-
Cormick, Goelet professor of medieval
history, the workshop brought together
scholars from all sides of the traditional divisions
between the humanities, social and
natural sciences. The goal was to review
recent progress and explore the potential
to further combine historical and archaeological
records with high-resolution palaeo
climate proxy data to better understand
the development of climate across this
broad period and region—and ultimately,
climate’s influence on human society.
