Human Environment Interactions - Volume 2 Reconstructing the Natural and Anthropogenic Landscape / [electronic resource] : by Michelle Goman. - XIII, 101 p. 32 illus., 16 illus. in color. online resource. - SpringerBriefs in Earth System Sciences, 2191-589X . - SpringerBriefs in Earth System Sciences, .
Introduction -- Lake Shoreline Evidence of Hydrologic Conditions in the Southern Basin and Range Province During the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene: Paleoclimatic and Archaeological Implications -- Post-Mazama River Terraces and Human Occupation Along the North Umpqua River, Oregon -- Prehistoric Settlement Patterns and Optimal Maize Field Location in the Mt. Trumbull Region NW Arizona USA.
The Holocene is unique when compared to earlier geological time in that humans begin to alter and manipulate the natural environment to their own needs. Domestication of crops and animals and the resultant intensification of agriculture lead to profound changes in the impact humans have on the environment. Conversely, as human populations began to increase geologic and climatic factors begin to have a greater impact on civilizations. To understand and reconstruct the complex interplay between humans and the environment over the past ten thousand years requires examination of multiple differing but interconnected aspects of the environment and involves geomorphology, paleoecology, geoarchaeology and paleoclimatology. These Springer Briefs volumes examine the dynamic interplay between humans and the natural environment as reconstructed by the many and varied sub-fields of the Earth Sciences.
