Reflecting on a multidisciplinary collaboration to design a general education climate change course
Kultur and Kulturkampf
For most of the nineteenth century, historicism had dominated the human sciences in Germany, setting the goals and methods of the study of humankind and offering a cultural and political identity based on the interpretation of textual sources of the European and classical past. For German historians, “culture” involved the European self interpreting what was conceived as its own past, a practice that necessarily excluded all those perceived as “o…

Sparse Pre-Columbian Human Habitation in Western Amazonia
Population Limits Extensive pre-Columbian populations inhabited the central and eastern Amazon basin, as evidenced by the clearing and modification of forests. McMichael et al. (p. 1429 ) examined how far inland such activities may have extended by sampling soils across western Amazonia, including river bluffs, which were heavily occupied downstream. Little evidence of human disturbance across a wide region was found by looking for charcoal layer…
Spatial and temporal scales of pre-Columbian disturbance associated with western Amazonian lakes
The history of landscape alteration in Amazonia by humans prior to the arrival of Europeans remains poorly understood. Estimates of human population size at the time of European contact vary by several million, and the trajectories of cultural and agricultural development are equally uncertain. The extent to which human populations altered Amazonian ecosystems is a function of population size, land management style, radius of influence of each su…
Radiocarbon Dating, Chronologic Framework, and Changes in Accumulation Rates of Holocene Estuarine Sediments from Chesapeake Bay
Rapidly accumulating Holocene sediments in estuaries commonly are difficult to sample and date. In Chesapeake Bay, we obtained sediment cores as much as 20 m in length and used numerous radiocarbon ages measured by accelerator mass spectrometry methods to provide the first detailed chronologies of Holocene sediment accumulation in the bay. Carbon in these sediments is a complex mixture of materials from a variety of sources. Analyses of different…
