Description

Research at the effects of climate change on people and the surroundings has its roots in decades of study by archaeologists and meteorologists. The Archaeoclimatology Atlas of Oregon provides an in-depth take a look at the modeled climatic and environmental history of the region during the last 14,000 years and analyzes the connection between climatic variables and people up to now.

The Macrophysical Climate Model (MCM) used for the atlas presents an innovative means of modeling past climate that has been rigorously tested and verified against field evidence all over the world. Broad-scale reconstructions of specific times up to now provide detailed web page-specific graphs of precipitation, temperature, evaporation, and snowfall for more than 75 locations in Oregon.

Applications of the model and its implications for human populations in Oregon are explored for every region of the state, demonstrating the range of human-climate interactions.
