Our climate change series concludes with a discussion of the various lines of evidence indicating that recent warming is the result of human-produced greenhouse gases, including greater warming at night, cooling of the stratosphere, and relative depletion of C14 in the atmosphere. We then consider the various expected impacts of climate change, including increased extreme weather events, acidification of the oceans, changes to crop yields, and affects on various ecosystems. We end with an analysis of the relative costs and benefits of mitigation, and discuss likjely climate projections for the remainder of the 21st century.

Saint Helena is an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, perhaps most famous as the final residence of Napoleon I, Emperor of the French from 1804 to 1814 and again briefly in 1815. However, there is also plenty of interesting ecology and anthropogenic impact to talk about. Join myself and my co-host on an old episode of Island Folk to find out more!

Terrestrial carbon is stored into above-ground biomass, roots, and soil. Anthropogenic climate change, related policies and carbon trading schemes make its accurate assessment increasingly important. Whereas in situ, airborne and drone-based methods are generally more accurate – spaceborne means possess a list of advantages, which are hard to beat. With satellite-based methods it is possible to gather data in short time about huge areas with uniform quality. Independent third-party validation is also easier as satellite data is to a large extent freely available with open data policy. The accuracy of satellite-based carbon stock assessment has improved with current best methods having twenty five to thirty percent uncertainties. A brief overview of satellite-based terrestrial carbon stock estimation techniques and data sources will be given. Covering indirect proxy methods via passive optical satellite reflectance and radar backscatter and direct biomass volume-measurement methods using interferometric radar and LiDAR data. Direct accurate top layer soil carbon measurement over bare land is also increasingly possible thanks to the advancements of hyperspectral imaging satellites. KappaZeta is developing a constellation of three passive receiver satellites making current industry standard Sentinel-1 radar data from planar to 3-dimensional. It would address many of the shortcomings of current global carbon stock estimation means by cleverly augmenting one of most powerful satellite radar data factories of 2010s to 2030ies. Via direct measurements of the above-ground biomass volume it is possible to improve the carbon stock estimation accuracy of present day's 25% uncertainty to 10% uncertainty. A global, comparable, accurate and affordable data set for carbon stock estimation will be created. With New Space technology about €20 million investment is needed (with safer and slower old-space means about €80 million investment). We are looking for private and governmental stakeholders to develop the user requirements and relations.

Christians need to be pro-active in working to see others come to faith in Christ. In doing that we will also be once again laying the foundations for human flourishing, but also the flourishing of the planet because man is needed to look after it; that's the way God designed it to be.

RC and crew return to review Spring events and resume the benefits of Carbon Dioxide discussions. RC goes thru his analysis of a paper about pre-Viking societies adaptations to the fluctuating European climate, with focus on the Dark Ages Cold Period. Also from his writings for prior RandallCarlson.com monthly newsletters, RC conveys how a group of solar physicists are concerned with the unwise practice of IPCC modelling climate using steady-state solar output. Record cold in the western US, and a graph of last winter's snow cover expansion by state is being used as another factor claiming - Climate Crisis! Strange brain games are being played when everything is blamed on AGW and rising CO2 – despite its fertilization effect and NASA.gov reporting vast “Greening” of the planet. Oh – and Silent Mike reports 1968 is the baseline!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4656375/advertisement

Press play to learn: How the environmental impacts of micro and macroplastics differ What are some of the main dominant pathways for waste getting into the environment and how they differ depending on geographical location What type of filtration solution works well for keeping microplastics out of the environment Why it's difficult to understand the role of nanoparticles in the environment Rochman's research revolves around anthropogenic contaminants—what happens when they are added to the environment, how they interact with animals and plants, how they impact species and aquatic ecosystems, where they most frequently enter the environment, and what types of effects different contaminants have on different aspects of the environment. For over ten years, Rochman has focused on plastic contamination. By taking samples from various environmental sources and the guts of organisms, she quantifies and characterizes the plastics found, which allows her to not only conduct further research on how specific contaminants impact organisms, but also propose to industry and municipalities more sustainable ways of utilizing and managing plastics. Much of the research in this field has shown that the smaller the plastic, the more likely it is to have an impact on organisms, and those impacts range from changes in growth patterns to low offspring viability. In addition to discussing these topics in depth, Rochman touches on types of ecotoxicology research, trophic transfer of microplastics, bioaccumulation and biomagnification of microplastics, and the chemistry of the environment.

A new study by a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientist and collaborators shows that nearly all the recent increase in California summer wildfire burned area is attributable to human-caused (anthropogenic) climate change. Anthropogenic simulations yielded burn areas an average of 172% higher than natural variation simulations. The research appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Tune in as we talk with one of the co-authors of the article, Dr. Don Lucas.

Blinded by inappropriate outdoor night lighting, much of humanity is now unaware of the rich beauty of the Universe which surrounds them. To see sights which have inspired countless generations of lovers, poets, scientists, authors, artists, mathematicians, and dreamers people must travel out of their artificial light domes to one of the few remote locations which offer the opportunity to view the natural night sky.

Written by Aparna Anirudhan and narrated by Gayle Crew CoreNet Global's the SOURCE magazine, April 2023 Scientists use the word “anthropogenic” in referring to environmental change caused or influenced by people, either directly or indirectly. Human-initiated climate change, as opposed to naturally occurring climatic activities, is directly linked to the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation leading to melting of ice sheets and flooding and the release of aerosols into the air and our oceans leading to ocean acidification causing the death and subsequently extinction of several species.

In this episode, Ralph and Luc listen to a stand-up routine by comedian George Carlin about environmentalists. We engage with Carlin's pontifications and his ingenious framing by providing context from a scientific perspective. We also gesture at disarming some of his cynicism while steering clear of fully explaining away what made his take comedic in the first place.This episode contains 4 brief excerpts from George Carlin's "Jammin' in New York" special.Erratum: we said microplastics were found in the blood of 99% of people tested – in fact, plastic was found in the blood of 17 of 22 subjects tested (77%).• original article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412022001258 • and a write-up in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/mar/24/microplastics-found-in-human-blood-for-first-time.

On this inaugural episode, Ralph and Luc briefly describe the practice of greenwashing, with examples ranging from: BP's popularisation of the carbon footprint, to  the labels on water bottles, to  Volkswagen evading emissions tests, and  the practice of carbon offsets…

Paula Burgi Remote sensing observations of the 2019 Ridgecrest, California, earthquake sequence revealed a significant amount of surface ejecta in the nearby Searles Lake, including one area where the surface ejecta was arranged in a repeating hexagonal “honeycomb” pattern. This pattern is collocated with injection wells from a solution mining operation, suggesting anthropogenic activities influenced the spatial distribution of surface ejecta. Lithology, geotechnical soil behavior, and the spatial distribution of long-term InSAR-derived subsidence indicate that surface ejecta in Searles Lake is not likely related to liquefaction. We propose a process, similar to liquefaction, that results in surface ejecta: (1) dissolution of evaporites increases the void/cavity space that is filled with fluid, (2) ground shaking causes void/cavity collapse (i.e., a volume reduction), (3) the collapse increases the fluid pressure, and (4) the increased pressure results in fluid flow to the surface.

Although Antarctica is still the most remote and pristine place on earth, there have been many human-caused impacts to this continent and the marine environment around it. These impacts include pollution from research stations, tourism, and introduced species. In this podcast, I discuss these impacts and how they led to the Environmental Protocol in the Antarctic Treaty in 1991. In addition, I give the history of tourism and when the first women are known to have visited the frozen continent. Tourism (ship and air), which has been increasing exponentially since the 1970s, is now controlled by the tourist agencies themselves when the International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators (IAATO) was formed in 1991 to promote safe and environmentally responsible travel to Antarctica. Introduced species still arrive in Antarctica either naturally or from researchers and tourists, but most of these exotic species fail to survive there. I discuss a few of these species that have managed to gain a foothold in Antarctica today, facilitated in part of global warming trends that provide a more suitable habitat for them.

In this episode, our first of our beekeeping series, we tackle the thorny question of native pollinators and non-native honeybee pollinators-- how do they impact one another? More importantly, are we actually too focused on saving the wrong pollinator? We dive into questions about native pollinators, non-native species, monocrops, tracing where 'common knowledge' comes from, and the rigors of having to talk to Andy for an hour straight.     To support this podcast, join our patreon for early episode access at www.patreon.com/poorprolesalmanac For more information and updates, visit www.poorproles.com and subscribe to our e-mail list.   Sources: 1 "On the road: Anthropogenic factors drive the invasion risk of a wild solitary bee species" Julia Lanner, Nicolas Dubos, Benoît Geslin, Boris Leroy, Carlos Hernández-Castellano 2 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353679469_Exotic_insect_pollinators_and_native_pollination_systems 3 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280794340_Introduced_honeybees_on_islands_impacts_on_native_pollination_interactions/link/55c9c17308aeb9756747a1b7/download 4 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/283573063_Nectar_chemistry_modulates_the_impact_of_an_invasive_plant_on_native_pollinators 5 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333601307_Native_bees_honeybees_and_pollination_in_Oregon_cranberries 6 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/358925416_Non-Native_Non-Apis_Bees_Are_More_Abundant_on_Non-Native_Versus_Native_Flowering_Woody_Landscape_Plants 7 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/345388816_Are_native_and_non-native_pollinator_friendly_plants_equally_valuable_for_native_wild_bee_communities 8 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303832346_The_Effects_of_Crop_Intensification_on_the_Diversity_of_Native_Pollinator_Communities 9 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322648003_Exotic_flies_maintain_pollination_services_as_native_pollinators_decline_with_agricultural_expansion 10 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/336118547_Safeguarding_the_genetic_integrity_of_native_pollinators_requires_stronger_regulations_on_commercial_lines 11 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329048797_Linear_and_non-linear_effects_of_goldenrod_invasions_on_native_pollinator_and_plant_populations 12 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326653954_Conservation_Incentives_from_an_Ecosystem_Service_How_Much_Farmland_Might_Be_Devoted_to_Native_Pollinators 13 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-41271-5 14 https://naturalareas.org/docs/16-067_02_Overview-of-the-Potential-Impacts-of-Honey-Bees_web.pdf 15 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/339918219_Viruses_are_spilling_over_from_managed_honey_bees_to_wild_bumble_bees 16 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338610434_Honey_bees_do_not_displace_foraging_bumble_bees_on_nectar-rich_artificial_flowers 17 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/302971640_Competition_between_managed_honeybees_and_wild_bumblebees_depends_on_landscape_context 18 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/343451112_Modelling_risk_of_competitive_effects_from_honeybees_on_wild_bees 19 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340165114_Resource_partitioning_among_a_pollinator_guild_A_case_study_of_monospecific_flower_crops_under_high_honeybee_pressure Audio clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSYgDssQUtA

“The future is positive. Unfortunately, so many children are being taught that we're destroying the planet, mankind is responsible for all the problems in the world. We can use our intelligence, make the world a better place to live in harmony with it” There's an intense amount of focus on climate change in the media and almost all of it paints humanity as a the culprit, forcing people, especially the younger generations, to develop a negative perspective on society, our leaders, and our collective future. We hear a lot from politicians and scientists about longterm solutions but the sense of despair and cynicism persists. Last week's guest, Lynne Twist, raised the point that so much of humanity's financial resources are lost to fear. What if, rather than focussing on our failures and promoting the notion that change is difficult, we focus on our potential. Today's guest believes the future is positive. Jeff Krehmer is a visionary mechanical engineer who's mindset and courage to step forward with optimism and a solution is what this world needs. Jeff believes we can use our intelligence to make the world a better place. He talks about a technology called Polar Energy Platforms or PEP that harness the energy of the ocean to provide electricity for the whole planet while simultaneously contributing to global cooling, global food supplies, and ecological balance. To learn more about Jeff's revolutionary ideas, read his new book, Infinite Resources: How To Sustainably Develop The Arctic By Supplying Green Hydrogen, Fresh Water, And Healthy Food To The World, While Mitigating The Negative Effects Of Anthropogenic Climate Change, go to infiniteresourcesbook.com.

Heat waves are defined as periods of abnormally hot weather generally lasting more than two days. To be considered a heat wave, the recorded temperatures must be substantially above the historical averages for a given area. According to climate scientists, anthropogenic climate change is likely causing heat waves to increase in both frequency and intensity.   […]

Understanding the function of time and space when an ecosystem is disturbed is essential for devising sustainable conservation and management policies, further complicated by anthropogenic disturbances. To understand and predict the response of ecological systems to these disturbances, researchers must develop new theoretical and experimental approaches.The research team at the Theoretical and Experimental Ecology Station (SETE) founded by Jean Clobert and Michel Loreau, aims to provide both theory and experimental methodologies to understand and predict the responses of ecological systems to environmental changes.Read more in Research Features Read some of their latest work here: https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2018.00043 

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A Theologian's Response to Anthropogenic Existential Risk, published by Fr Peter Wyg on November 3, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Hi all, This is very much someone outside the bailiwick of this forum looking in, but I was told it could be interesting to share this article I wrote recently. I'm a Catholic priest, with a prior background in Electronic Engineering, currently working on a PhD in Theology at Durham University. I am researching how the Catholic Church can engage with longtermism and better play its, potentially significant, part in advocating existential security. I'm particularly interested in how a Christian imagination can offer unique evaluative resources for attributing value to future human flourishing and to develop a sense of moral connection with our descendents, better motivating the sacrifices safeguarding the future demands. Much of the material will be very familiar to you as the article was written for a Catholic publication, and so also serves to introduce and promote some of the basic ideas to a new audience. I'm certainly interested to receive any comments or questions! Called to Share the Father's Love for Humanity's Future: A Scriptural and Patristic Perspective on Eschatological Cooperation in the Age of Anthropogenic Existential Risks As the 16th day of July 1945 came to a close, the sun set over a changed world. For the first time, humanity had detonated an atomic bomb, and after the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki later that year, society struggled to come to terms with the forces unleashed. Amidst the cacophony of devastation and the uproar of anti-nuclear movements, there were those who caught whispers of a dark threshold quietly crossed. One such thinker, Bertrand Russell, stood in the House of Lords to describe the shadow of a new kind of threat: We do not want to look at this thing simply from the point of view of the next few years; we want to look at it from the point of view of the future of mankind. The question is a simple one: Is it possible for a scientific society to continue to exist, or must such a society inevitably bring itself to destruction? ... As I go about the streets and see St. Paul's, the British Museum, the Houses of Parliament, and the other monuments of our civilization, in my mind's eye I see a nightmare vision of those buildings as heaps of rubble, surrounded by corpses.[1] Russell recognised that the development of nuclear weapons marked the dawn of a new age: humanity had become its greatest risk to itself. Adam and Eve, in eating the forbidden fruit, opened the way to individual death, but we have now “eaten more deeply of the fruit of the tree of knowledge” and are now “face to face with a second death, the death of mankind.”[2] An antithesis of God's creatio ex nihilo, we have obtained our own absolutising power, the “potestas annihilationis, the reductio ad nihili.”[3] A philosophical response to this new power suggests that threat of nuclear apocalypse is but one example of a category of anthropogenic existential risks (AXRs). Other self-caused threats to humanity's future potential also include engineered pandemics, human-caused climate change, and unaligned artificial intelligence, all of which could cause existential catastrophe. Further AXRs still await discovery, and we have no reason to believe these will be less hazardous.[4] Without action, the danger humanity creates for itself will continue to grow and Ord, from Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute, argues such increasing risk is unsustainable. We will either learn to mitigate existential risks or one of them will eventually play out, causing a permanent loss of humanity's potential. In the past, survival could be taken for granted as natural threats to the human species are vanishingly rare on the timescale of human histo...

In this episode I'm chatting with Kara Moses. Kara is a biologist and educator teaching nature connection, rewilding, wild living skills and woodland management. She is a writer, a climate activist, chair of the Cambrian Wildwood project in west Wales, she created Radical Nature Connection at the Ulex Project in the pyrenees which brings nature connection practice into relationship with our struggles to challenge interlocking systems of oppression, such as racism, patriarchy, colonialism, and ableism and our efforts to build movements forging a life-affirming future. You can learn more about her work at her website rewildeverything.org and her social media handle RewildEverything.Kara and I discuss the different ways rewilding has been used and the ways it has been perceived, and the challenges of using the word. We follow Kara through her transformative journey from primatology to direct action climate activism to nature connection, how she came to rewilding and beyond. This is a fun and deep conversation from a fellow rewilder who has dealt with similar and very different challenges than myself, in terms of spreading rewilding.Notes: www.RewildEverything.orgTwitter: @Kara_L_MosesInsta: @RewildEverythingFacebook: @RewildEverything• www.CambrianWildwood.org• How lemurs fight climate change• Meet Kara Moses, the activist who helped shut down a Welsh coal mine• Feral by George Monbiot  • Wild Awake Ireland• ‘It'll take away our livelihoods': Welsh farmers on rewilding and carbon markets• Anthropogenic heathlands: disturbance ecologies and the social organisation of past super-resilient landscapes• Radical Nature Connection (RNC)• My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem• Queer Nature• Rewild Portland • Weaving Earth• We are the 99%• Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall-Kimmerer• The Old Way• Access to You is a Privilege• What Kinship is and What it is Not by Marshall SahlinsSupport the show

In this episode Lexman interviews Saifedean Ammous, a financial author and investor. They discuss the basics of thermopiles, anthropogenic climate change, and subzone economics.

Today we are talking with Dr. Erica Nol of Ontario, Canada about challenges of the arctic-breeding shorebird.  Dr. Nol is a professor at Trent University in Canada.  Her research interests lie in the biology and conservation of shorebirds across many areas in Canada and beyond.  In particular, she studies the impacts of climate change on the habitats and life histories of arctic and subarctic breeding shorebirds.  

Humans have adapted to meet their water needs across disparate environments over time using behavioral adaptations. Yet, as temperatures rise and freshwater sources become depleted, it is critical to understand 1) how populations modify their environments to meet their water needs, and 2) the consequences of these anthropogenic - or human caused changes - on the environment and further on human health. This talk will provide an overview of different global water challenges and focus on a couple of case studies to highlight how development projects in remote areas that provide easier access to water, which may be high in salt or other contaminants, can unintentionally worsen health outcomes and hasten water depletion.

While no longer national news, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is still impacting the ecological health of the Gulf of Mexico and the livelihoods of the communities that rely upon the gulf's aquatic life, as Robert “Joe” Griffitt of the University of Southern Mississippi reveals. Dr. Griffitt and co-hosts Anne Chappelle and David Faulkner discuss how ecotoxicology is both an applied and a basic science, as well as how scientific discovery is not always a linear process. About the GuestRobert “Joe” Griffitt, PhD, is a Professor at and Director of the University of Southern Mississippi School of Ocean Science and Engineering. Ecotoxicology, toxicogenomics, and bioinformatics are the focus of Dr. Griffitt's research. Specifically, his lab investigates the impacts of metallic nanoparticles in aquatic and marine ecosystems and the effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill on the northern Gulf of Mexico. In both cases, his lab uses a combination of molecular and whole-animal endpoints to try to assess toxicological impacts at both cellular and organism levels. Dr. Griffitt earned a BS in marine biology from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and an MS in marine science and a PhD in environmental science from the University of South Carolina. He completed his postdoctoral research at the University of Florida.

For Meet Me on Planet 3 podcast episode 6, I interviewed Dr. Duncan Cook, a Senior Lecturer of Geography at Australian Catholic University (ACU). (In American lingo, we'd call him a professor.) Duncan describes some of the archaeological data that support the claim that drought, caused by deforestation, forced the ancient Maya to abandon their inland cities. Climate change, anyone? I seriously learned so much from our conversation. You MUST listen to this interview - Duncan's work and his data are fascinating. I secretly (or not so secretly) hope he invites me on his next expedition! Some key terms used in this episode: Anthro: Anthro is a prefix that means human. Anthropogenic means caused by humans. For example, anthropogenic sources of carbon indicates carbon dioxide in our atmosphere due to human activities, such as burning coal for electricity. Paleo: Paleo is another prefix, which means occurring in the distant past. For example, the expression "paleo diet" is used to describe foods that could have been hunted or gathered by ancient humans. Geo: A third prefix, geo, means Earth. A Geographer studies not just maps but also how society interacts with Earth's natural environment. Speaking of geography, two locations that come up include the Petén, which is a region in northern Guatemala, and the Yucatán, which refers to an area of Mexico. Catchment: Catchment is another way of describing a watershed, such as the area surrounding a lake or river. Calcium Carbonate: A little high school chemistry for you! Calcium carbonate is an important chemical in seashells. Its chemical formula is CaCO3, revealing that it consists of one calcium atom, one carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms. Isotope: An isotope refers to the same kind of atom with different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei and therefore different atomic masses. For example, Oxygen-16 and Oxygen-18 are isotopes. They are both forms of the element, oxygen, but they have different atomic masses due to differing numbers of neutrons.

This episode of the Ground Shots Podcast is a conversation between Kelly Moody and Gabe Crawford.   We haven't done an episode together since we were on the Colorado Trail this past summer. So, we wanted to talk about the research we have been doing since we got off of the trail, and while hermiting a bit in our bell tent camp along a riparian corridor, outside of Durango, Colorado. We've been thinking a lot about what land tending means, and definitions of ‘wildness,' and ‘wilderness' since hiking the trail, and wanted to spend some time looking into the literature out there on conservation, ecology and agriculture. We've only touched the surface with our research, but wanted to talk about it on air with ya'll here, and connect some distant tendrils of what we're finding through conversation. Above all, our goal has been to try to understand why anthropogenic (human tended and co-created) landscapes are ignored in scientific literature, hence why ‘wild-tending' seems far-fetched to some folks. And, we want to understand the deeper origins of the invasion biology field of conversation and how it may be connected to ethnocentrism, racism, unexamined colonialist assumptions in the fields of history and science, and more. Since this episode was recorded and edited, we have migrated to where my family is in southern Virginia for the rest of the winter and are trying to adjust to a different culture, climate and navigating the pandemic without public land.   In this episode of the podcast, we talk about:   the oppressive colonizing force of the Christian church institution in Europe and how this influenced the suppression of land based spirituality some etymology of ‘heretic,' ‘heathen,' ‘villan,' and ‘pagan' how the disregard for historic anthropogenic landscapes is connected to the obsession with ‘pristine' ecology and ‘wilderness' notions how Eurocentric ideas about agriculture influenced what colonists saw as ‘uncivilized' or ‘cultivated' on turtle island and how these ethnocentric biases ignored anthropogenic landscapes the white supremacy inherent in the western scientific interpretation of human cultivation, land management and indigenous influence on ecology biases in the historical accounts of indigenous cultures and the landscapes of Turtle Island, South America, etc. by European explorers yet many of these accounts are used to determine ecological baselines in conservation goals some of the origins of emotive, moral and value based language in invasive biology and conservation fields the roots of why conservationism is wary to include indigenous peoples in its preservation of ‘pristine wilderness' and how the creation of baselines that doesn't include indigenous land management practices, even though the ecological baselines that might be their goals were anthropogenic landscapes the history of national parks extirpating natives off of their land in order to ‘preserve' an idea of ‘wilderness' and how they continue to ignore how the humans there were a part of creating and managing the landscapes the affluence associated with conservation culture and the western ideas of the museumification of ‘pristine land' the misinformation in the academic literature of invasion biology created through confirmation biases and disproven theories continuing to be referenced as facts   Links: A slew of resources related to what we chatted about on the podcast can be found below.

In today's episode we continue our series on the early peopling of the Americas, this time focusing on Amazonia and the peoples that occupied and modified this region. Joining us for this episode is Dr. Mark Robinson, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Exeter. Dr. Robinson's research focuses on environmental archaeology, and applying interdisciplinary techniques to explore human-plant relationships. His research has particularly focused on human-environment interactions, including wood and charcoal identification to understand resource exploitation and anthropogenic impacts on the forest. He has worked extensively throughout the New World, with ongoing projects in Belize, Brazil, Bolivia, and Colombia, with contexts ranging from the peopling of the Americas during the Late Pleistocene, to the collapse of the Mayan civilisation. In earlier research, Dr Robinson applied a novel methodology using GIS modelling, vegetation prediction, and isotope geochemistry to isolate humans from climate as the principal driver of vegetation change during the Late Holocene. Currently, Dr. Robinson is using airborne LiDAR to document forest structure and archaeology in western Amazonia. Additionally, ongoing research in the remote Bladen Nature Reserve in Belize has uncovered some of the oldest tropical skeletons in well-defined stratigraphic sequences.
