Landscapes of settlement in Northern Iceland: Historical ecology of human impact and climate fluctuation on the millennial scale
Early settlement in the North Atlantic produced complex interactions of culture and nature. The sustained program of interdisciplinary collaboration is intended to focus on ninth- to 13th-century sites and landscapes in the highland interior lake basin of Myvatn in Iceland and to contribute along-te...

The sustained program of interdisciplinary collaboration is intended to focus on ninth- to 13th-century sites and landscapes in the highland interior lake basin of Myvatn in Iceland and to contribute along-term perspective to larger issues of sustainable resource use, soil erosion, and the historical ecology of global change. |
