Dr. Francis Ludlow (Yale University, Climate and Energy Institute), interdisciplinary historical climatologist, will deliver a talk entitled “Violence and Extreme Weather in Medieval Ireland” for the PIIRS (Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies) Climate Change and History Lecture Series on Wednesday, December 9 at 4:30pm in Dickinson Hall 210. The talk interweaves written and material sources to examine linkages between conflict and climate in medieval Ireland, 650-1400.
The PIIRS Climate Change and History Initiative is an international interdisciplinary project investigating the impact of climatic changes across the last two millennia on societies in two environmentally sensitive areas, the eastern Mediterranean basin (including the Balkans, Anatolia and the Near and Middle East) and the eastern Eurasian steppe, in particular Mongolia and the regions north of China.
