DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Origins of Amazonian Landscapes\nIncreasing evid
 ence suggest indigenous human-environment interactions have a legacy on mo
 dern ecosystems. Much of the advancements we have made in understanding lo
 ng-term human drivers of ecological change come from interdisciplinary stu
 dies that integrate archaeology\, palaeoecology\, palaeoclimate\, soil sci
 ence\, and botanical inventories to examine the key mechanisms and process
 es shaping ecosystem change. Implementing an interdisciplinary approach\, 
 we will examine case studies from the Amazon. These multi-proxy data sugge
 st that the cultivation of multiple crops combined with forest management 
 created resilient subsistence strategies that persisted despite pronounced
  climate variability and increasing social conflict in the region.\n\nAlso
  available on zoom.
