Towards a more accurate quantification of human-environment interactions in the past.
Past Global Changes
Several REAL members attended the PAGES focus 4 workshop at the University of Leuven, Belgium, between February 3-7, 2014. The focus of the workshop was the quantification of human-environment interactions and how to improve quantification accuracy, especially in large-scale reconstructions of past land use cover.
Some discussion.
