Congratulation, Ben! Looking forward to reading it.

My article out this morning shows the changing land use and population at the site of Itzan in Guatemala, culminating in the abandonment of the population centre at the same time as the "Terminal Classic" regional drought — but with no evidence of local drought

Hi all! We're a working group focused on integrating information from palaeoecology, archaeology and traditional knowledge to address urgent Anthropocene crises. Together, we form ECHOES: Exploring Climate and Human Observations from the Global South.

Excited to share that I was fortunate to designed the first "Geoarchaeology" course in India at Department of Applied Geology at Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad.

The course is designed for students to develop transdisciplinary thinking following National Education Policy of India 2020.

So much to think about after "Not all that glitters is green" by Verónica Zuccarelli Freire. A powerful reminder that the costs of the energy transition are not shared equally, especially in the #Andes. True climate action requires environmental justice.
