El Nino, Disaster, and Resilience on the Coast of Peru
October 16, 2023, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Prof. Daniel Sandweiss of the University of Maine is a geoarchaeologist who studies the effects on cultural development of climate change, particularly the prehistory of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, as well as environmental change, such as rising sea level during the last deglaciation period. He also investigates the development and organization of complex societies in the coastal setting. Most of his research has taken place in Peru, but he has also worked in Guatemala, Honduras, and Cuba. He has been on the faculty of the University of Maine since 1993.
Presented by the Margaret Chase Smith Library and the Mid-Maine Global Forum, this talk will be recorded and available on the MSC Library Youtube channel. A link will be available after the program.
