Our project manager, Dr. Philip Gooding, was recently featured in a CHOICE Media webinar entitled “Redefining research: Uncovering climate impact insights with digitized primary sources.” In this webinar, Dr. Gooding discussed the importance of historical archives to climate reconstruction, especially in the Global South. As he argues, they can help fill the gaps left by natural scientists, whose work has disproportionately focused on North America and Europe. Historical methods can be central to improving knowledge about regional climate systems, which can, in turn, improve models that project the future effects of global warming.
