The first systematic studies of late Quaternary (i.e., preindustrial) human-environment interactions were published in the early 1900s, and since then a growing body of research has attempted to link climatic and environmental change with human history. Key advances over the past few decades, including the development of novel climate proxies, improvements in Quaternary dating methods, refinement of paleogenetic techniques, and the widespread use of remotely sensed data and coupled model simulations have allowed researchers from many disciplines to examine the relationship between humans and the environment in unprecedented detail. In this session, we invite submissions that address the impacts of late Pleistocene and Holocene paleoenvironmental conditions (e.g., glaciation, sea level, geohazards, climate, and/or vegetation) on human migration pathways and settlement patterns, as well as cultural or societal responses to environmental change. We are particularly interested in abstracts that combine multiple proxies, techniques, or disciplinary approaches.
