The world in an oyster: deciphering past climate change

The relationship between air temperature and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (pCO2) is a ‘hot’ topic for scientists – as it can help them understand both past and future climate change. Much of the evidence for past climate change is…

When Geosciences tells us more about planet Earth
Geosciences
Many ERC projects in the Geosciences address key societal challenges. The projects presented in this brochure are investigating the role of organic aerosols in climate change and air pollution, the long-term management of forests in the preservation of the ecosystem, microscopic processes that govern the flow of magma in volcanic eruptions, the development of a new 3 dimensional model of the Earth’s mantle or the monitoring of the atmosphere through GPS for predicting tsunamis.

Anthropology and Archaeology
archeology
Many ERC-funded projects in this field address fundamental issues, such as the roots of food globalisation in prehistory, mobility of people and ideas during the Bronze Age, urban diversification in global cities across the years, the prediction of people’s response to water disasters, or the historical dimensions of herding practices in Europe.
