Culture and Environment in the Upland Forests of South India from Antiquity to Early Modernity<\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n PI: Prof. Daniela De Simone<\/a><\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n Funding: Odysseus Programme of the Flemish Research Council (FWO) Type II grant (n.

To this end, a team of international researchers with expertise in Indian archaeology, palynology and palaeoecology, historical ethnobotany, ethnolinguistics, and epigraphy will focus on the Nilgiri Mountains in southern India, a region of montane subtropical forests and the homeland of several ethnic groups, from the start of the Common Era to the early 19th century.

This multi-disciplinary research project is focused on the archaeological, geological and ecological history of the\u00a0Tr\u00e0ng An massif World Heritage site<\/a>, Ninh Binh, Vietnam.

To develop sustainable ecological resource management strategies, accurate forecasting of long-term vegetation response to climate and human-caused disturbance is necessary. To address this issue, the project ISLANDER implements an interdisciplinary approach combining palaeoecology, archaeolozoology, palaeoclimate and forest management in Cura\u00e7ao.\u00a0Read more here<\/a>…<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The pace and rhythm of climate: 600,000 years in a biological hotspot<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n CI: A\/Prof Janelle Stevenson<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Administering Organisation: The Australian National University<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This Australian Research Council funded project, uses palynology and ancient sedimentary DNA to generate knowledge of long-term changes in vegetation and rainfall for the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP).
