![]() The Climate History Network (CHN) has received two substantial awards from competitive programs at Georgetown University. The first, a Research Infrastructure Award, will support a major expansion and redesign of our online presence. CHN co-administrator Dagomar Degroot has already used a small part of the award to give the Network a shorter domain name and an updated website. The second award comes from the Georgetown Environment Initiative Impact Program. It will fund annual "Climate History Workshops" dedicated to hands-on, interdisciplinary skills training. It will also support a major "Conflict and Climate Change" conference, likely in 2017. These events will be hosted by Georgetown University. ![]() The second episode of Dagomar Degroot's Climate History Podcast is now online atHistoricalClimatology.com. In this episode, Professor Degroot interviews the co-founder and co-administrator of the Climate History Network: Professor Sam White of Ohio State University. Professors Degroot and White discuss the origins and future of their network; the prospects for climate history as a discipline; the possibilities and pitfalls of interdisciplinary research; the enduring value of the "Little Ice Age" concept, and more. |
