Humans have lived with a changing climate  since we've been on this planet. But what archaeology and anthropology is able to reveal now, is how well civilizations have adapted to changing climates over the course of human history. Brian Fagan is an emeritus professor of anthropology at UC Santa Barbara and the author of more than 50 books including, Climate Chaos: Lessons on Survival from Our Ancestors and Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations. His work focuses on the history of human culture and our relationship with the climate, using ancient artifacts to piece together the story. Brian and Greg discuss how humans have historically adapted to climate change, the role climate has played in the rise and fall of civilizations, and the importance of understanding our past to prepare for future climate challenges.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why has climate and other big global physical things been underappreciated as historical causes?07:12: You've got a situation now where climate change is among us. We live with it every day. And every time there's a major storm, up come the media with the old climate change thing, which is all very well, but the fact of the matter is that we've lived with climate ever since we've been on this planet. The real immediacy of it has been in the last 10,000 years, particularly with the development of agriculture and herding, because then you're really getting into a situation where you've got the whole scene of climate changing rapidly.Looking at climate as a player in history09:12: We're looking at climate as a player in history, not necessarily a cause. But a major player, which it was.On the dynamics of herding and the breathing of deserts20:42: The dynamics of herding are very simple. In the final analysis, an awful lot of history, I think, is probably very simple. You get rainfall in the desert. Large, shallow lakes develop, water holes form, and a whole bit of vegetation comes up. What happens? Animals and, ultimately, humans and cattle move in. Then it dries up, and they move out. It's like lungs in and out. There's no question that there's movement of deserts, the lungs, or the breathing of the deserts.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Mortimer Wheeler Hubert LambGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at UC Santa BarbaraHis Work:Climate Chaos: Lessons on Survival from Our AncestorsThe Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History 1300-1850The Long Summer: How Climate Changed CivilizationFloods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations The Great Warming: Climate Change and the Rise and Fall of CivilizationsThe Intimate Bond: How Animals Shaped Human HistoryFishing: How the Sea Fed Civilization

For many of my clients, I create and facilitate what's called an Emerging Leaders program. It's designed to prepare emerging leaders for their first management positions. Participants learn and apply foundational leadership skills throughout a multi-phased experiential journey.At the core of the program is the use of internal managers to serve as coaches and mentors. These are seasoned leaders, hand selected by the organization to help coach their assigned participant throughout the entire duration of the program.As a two-part recording, joining me today are Scott Dumler, Josh Key, Brian Fagan, and Elizabeth Martin, who went through my program as participants and are now leading people. You'll get to hear leadership development from a learner's perspective, and what a participant is going through during their leadership development journey, their ‘aha' moments, etc.In the next episode, you'll hear from the coaches who helped shepherd the participants to gain their perspective on mentoring these emerging leaders during the program.KEY TAKEAWAYSAdapt to different styles when communicating. The same conversation with two different people has a dramatic impact if you're not meeting their style and what they're looking to get from the conversationUtilize your peer set and other leaders to gather insight and advice. No one person as all the answersIt's ok to say, “I don't know”. You can always figure out how to get the best answers for your peopleConsider developing people by giving them exposure to other teams, functions; people who are not in the same role. This makes the practice of leadership the common denominatorSelf-awareness is key

DiscoScienza di Andrea Bellati

Nel 1815, il vulcano indonesiano Tambora sconvolse il clima con la più grande eruzione della storia. Le polveri oscurarono il cielo, le temperature crollarono: il 1816 è ricordato come l'Anno Senza Estate. Ci furono carestie ed epidemie in tutto il mondo. Il cambiamento climatico colpì tutte le attività umane, comprese l'arte e la letteratura. Il clima lugubre rovinò le vacanze di una insolita compagnia di giovani romantici. Chiusi in una villa, per ingannare il tempo, scrivevano storie dell'orrore. Con le voci di Greta Boschetti, Davide Gorla, Hélène Rendina. Fonti.

Hear from Prof. Brian Fagan, Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, as we dig up lessons in climate risk from the ancient world of our ancestors. Humanity has been subject to extreme weather and natural climate change for millions of years, and we can trace its impacts back to even our most ancient civilizations. A recent revolution in climate archaeology offers us a window into the climate risk management practices of the past. Just as contemporary risk management relies on historical data, ancient humans relied on the knowledge of their ancestors to deal with the risks of climate change. Although much of this ancient risk management tradition has been lost to time, powerful archaeological techniques allow us to piece together stories of how humanity has dealt with the social, economic, and political consequences of climate change over the last 30,000 years. That's why in today's episode, we'll explore the history of humanity's relationship with climate change, including insights on: What the past can teach us about risk management in the modern era; How climate change has shaped (and sometimes devastated) human societies in the past; And the scientific breakthroughs that have allowed archaeologists to bring this knowledge into the present. Links from today's discussion: Brian's bibliography - https://www.biblio.com/brian-m-fagan/author/5110 The 1997-98 El Niño event - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997%E2%80%9398_El_Ni%C3%B1o_event Brian on The Daily Show with John Stewart - https://www.cc.com/video/9jg7ty/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-brian-fagan Brian's article on Hubert Lamb's ‘church steeple meteorology' - https://www.jstor.org/stable/3986152  Speaker's Bio(s) Prof. Brian Fagan, Distinguished Emeritus Professor at the University of California Brian is Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Brian studied archaeology and anthropology at Cambridge University, before spending seven years in East and Central Africa, where he became a pioneering scholar of African history. A prolific author, many of Brian's books explore the history of Earth's climate, examining the impacts the environment has had on human civilization (and vice versa) since the dawn of time. These works include “Floods, Famines, and Emperors”, “The Little Ice Age”, “The Great Warming”, and the topic of today's discussion, “Climate Chaos: Lessons on Survival from Our Ancestors,” which he co-authored with fellow archaeologist Dr. Nadia Durrani.

Human-made climate change may have begun in the last two hundred years, but our species has witnessed many eras of climate instability. The results have not always been pretty. From Ancient Egypt to Rome to the Maya, some of history's mightiest civilizations have been felled by pestilence and glacial melt and drought. The challenges are no less great today. We face hurricanes and megafires and food shortages and more. But we have one powerful advantage as we face our current crisis: the past. Our knowledge of ancient climates has advanced tremendously in the last decade, to the point where we can now reconstruct seasonal weather going back thousands of years and see just how people and nature interacted. The lesson is clear: the societies that survive are those that plan ahead.

We then touch on a wide range of topics: his philosophy about teaching, the UCSB campus back in the beginning and the growth in the 80's, as well as his time as a student at Cambridge. He details what classes were like at Cambridge, and how different the class style was from UCSB. He found the transition to large classes at UCSB much more in-personal. What he is perhaps best know for is his writing, he has 9 publications - with 2 coming out this year. About 8 years ago he patterned with Nadia Durrani, who is a co-author on several of these publications. He says having her as a writing partner has been incredible and they edit seamlessly, while also her own experiences add a new depth to the work because she can speak to things he's not an expert in (human diversity, feminism, Middle Eastern culture). We also discuss his many hobbies, including sailing, sea kayaking, yacht journaling, raising rabbits, and even driving luxury cars.

How did our ancestors handle catastrophic changes to their climate? Brian Fagan has been researching that very question for decades. As one of the world's leading archaeological writers and recognized authorities on world prehistory, he has put together several great works on ancient climate change including the New York Times bestseller The Great Warming. Now, he's co-authored a new book Climate Chaos: Lessons on Survival from Our Ancestors with Cambridge University-trained archaeologist and writer Nadia Durrani. In this conversation with Fagan, we explore how ancient civilizations - from the Roman Emperors to Egyptian Pharaohs and many more - dealt with extreme environmental shifts and why climate change caused so many civilizations to eventually collapse. We explore the droughts, volcanoes, glacial melts, and other climate calamities that felled once-mighty civilizations and what we can learn from their example to lead us in our decisions today.

This week’s inauguration of President Joe Biden put climate change back on the U.S. agenda -- and none too soon! History has shown that climate change has a direct impact on societies and even the rise and fall of civilizations. In fact, most of the crises America has faced in the last year – a pandemic, economic implosion and massive civil unrest – can all be traced back in part to damage that global warming is already causing.A couple of years ago, I had an opportunity to teach high school geography. It’s not taught like it was when I was in school in the 1970’s. Now we look at how history and society interact with our physical environment. That year I came across the incredible work of today’s guest, Professor Brian Fagan, whose books on the effect of climate change has profoundly influenced the rise and fall of societies throughout history. In this interview he shares his insights from these important works.Fagan is professor emeritus at the University of California, Santa Barbara and an archaeological generalist, with expertise in the broad issues of human prehistory. You’ll also get a preview of his new book, which is due out later this year. It promises to be another masterpiece on past climate change and the implications for our future.

The Science of Sacred Sites by Brian Fagan describes how archaeologists use modern science to study ancient cosmologies and religious beliefs. All archaeologists analyze the material remains of human behavior in the past using such durable funds as pottery, stone tools, building foundations, and food remains. In recent years some scholars have turned from the material to the intangible. They ask a question that was unthinkable even 20 years ago: what can archaeology tell us about the relationships between ancient cultures and their world as the perceived it? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Brian Fagan — one of the world’s leading archaeological writers — is back on the show! Brian was born in England and studied archaeology at Pembroke College, Cambridge. He was Keeper of Prehistory at the Livingstone Museum (Zambia) and, during six years in Zambia and one in East Africa, was deeply involved in fieldwork on multidisciplinary African history and in monuments conservation. He was Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, from 1967 to 2004, when he became Emeritus. He is regarded as one of the world’s leading archaeological and historical writers and is a widely respected popular lecturer about the past. In this episode, Brian talks to us about his latest book Fishing: How the Sea Fed Civilization and shares the fascinating insights he uncovered on the history of fishing. In his research, he found that fishing (for sustenance, not sport) rivaled agriculture in its importance to civilization. We discuss the historical timeline of fishing, early fishing equipment and how fishing became a commodity. Brian also shares his thoughts on the future of wild fisheries and the ocean ecosystem.

Water — our most vital resource — is a topic that is quite often on our minds. There are the global water issues such as the fact that 783 million people do not have access to fresh water, droughts throughout our planet are becoming more wide-spread and the biodiversity of our oceans is declining at an alarming rate. There are the issues closer to home, like (for us in the United States) the droughts in California and the recent water crisis in Michigan caused by contaminated municipal water, potentially exposing over 100,000 residents in the city of Flint, MI to high levels of lead in their drinking water. And then there are the more personal water issues, such as considerations over what’s the best, most healthful water for us to drink and how much water is ideal for one to consume in a day.  Our relationship with water has profoundly impacted our history, and Brian Fagan — archaeologist,  Emeritus Professor of Anthropology and prolific author — is here to share key pieces of our shared history with water and how we can reflect on this history to help solve water crises of the future. Brian was born in England, was educated at Cambridge University (BA (Honors), MA, and PhD) and worked in Central Africa as an archaeologist and museum curator before coming to the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1967. He is the author of numerous articles and general books on archaeology, ancient climate change, and most recently histories of water, ancient seafaring, and the changing relationship between humans and animals. Brian is regarded as one of the world’s leading archaeological writers and lectures about the past, especially ancient climate change, all over the world.  In this interview, Brian artfully weaves together the history of water and humankind. We discuss the timeline of water issues and cover some of the most prevalent water issues plaguing our planet at this time, as well as Brian’s predictions for what we can expect in the future. This interview is not a doomsday report, as Brian’s message is a wake-up call for our species that is filled with hope for our planet and Homo sapiens (the wise ones) and our ingenuity and adaptability. It is a call to regain the reverence for water that our ancestors possessed!

Humans have been using their ingenuity to deal with sea level rise, floods, and fluctuating coasts for the past 15,000 years, and recent extreme events have emphasized the need to adapt. “There are no easy solutions to adaptation,” says Brian Fagan, author of “The Attacking Ocean”, but we can learn from historic sea walls in the Netherlands, cyclones in the Indian Ocean, and other major oceanic events over the last 10,000 years. “The global ocean has actually done us this incredible favor by buffering us from a variety of effects of climate change and our fossil fuel addiction,” says Meg Caldwell, Executive Director of the Center for Ocean Solutions at Stanford. However the combination of warming waters, acidification, and lower oxygen levels have have the oceans at their limit.
