Human-environment interactions

Our research on human-environment interactions explores the dynamic relationship between humans and their surroundings, focusing on how environmental factors shape human migration, settlement, and cultural adaptation.

This work emphasizes the role of climate and landscape in facilitating ancient migrations, such as the peopling of Sahul, while highlighting how humans have historically influenced biodiversity through activities like hunting and land use. By integrating advanced modeling techniques and archaeological insights, your research uncovers patterns of human adaptability and resilience, as well as the ecological consequences of human activity.

This theme also addresses how historical human-environment interactions can inform sustainable practices in the present and future
