Накратко на български
Взаимодействието между климата и хората в Тоскана от 6-ти до 10-ти век анализира как промените в природата влияят върху миграциите и заселването. Тези исторически данни помагат за по-доброто разбиране на причините за климатичните промени и начините за справяне с тях днес.

Patterns of land-use and human mobility in a time of climate changes (Italy, 6th to 10th cc.)
1.PROBLEMS AND ISSUES ADDRESSED The action investigates human-environmental and human-climate interactions, including their effect on migratory flows, in Tuscany (Italy, 6th to 10th cc.). It integrates into the traditional debate on the socio-political actors responsible for shifting settlement patterns the role of climatic constrains. It uses different kind of dataset: physical/natural proxy data from lake sediments; historical/documentary texts and archaeological records. These independent sources are combined through a consilient approach. For conceptual and theoretical aspects, new analytic tools from the most recent sociological literature on climate mobilities are taken into account. 2.RELEVANCE FOR SOCIATY As the ongoing European migration crisis and global climate challenge demonstrate, the project bears contemporary relevance. It seeks to develop conceptual paradigmatic pathways that can foster comparative analysis against other historical periods, including present-day societies, as to get a better “understanding of the causes of climate change and to pave the way for pathways and solutions to address them”. 3.OVERALL OBJECTIVES The overall objectives are: A) filling in a major gap in current scholarship, where Italy in the early Middle Ages is understudied; B) refining our theoretical comprehension about the climate-migration nexus and go beyond a neo-deterministic approach; C) fostering the consilience between natural sciences and humanities. 4. CONCLUSIONS The action has produced a new broader historical syntheses which casts light on the socio-climatic dynamics of medieval societies. The main scientific achievements can be summarized as follows: in-depth study of the written documentation related to land-cover in central Italy; acquisition of new physical/natural proxy data from 2 lake sediments and a new independent long-duration and high-resolution climate record from fossil pollen; comparison between extant climatic and land-use modelings and the environmental observational reconstructions; theoretical sophistication of the interpretation and fostering of the dialogue between medievalists and hard scientists.

Цел на проекта
The period from the sixth- to eleventh- century in Italy is one of the most profound political and social laboratories in European history. Centered on this region and period, the primary goal of the In&Around project is to chart the effects of climate change on human behaviour. By focusing on early and high medieval Italy, the project aims at exploring the interaction between climate variability and human agency with a lens towards management of the environment and in the light of shifting political regimes, while capturing details on past issues of contemporary significance like human mobility and workforce relocation. Within the area of Italy, two micro-regions with distinct medieval histories are targeted for specific investigation: Lucca and Rieti. The project will generate new long-duration and high-resolution climate records from recently cored lake sediments combined with data derived from written sources and already extant climate reconstructions. By way of its innovation-through-interdisciplinary approach, the project will offer important opportunities for expanding the applicant’s expertise through integrating different kind of datasets, while contributing enormously to an expanding field of study in i) determining how data drawn from historical archives, natural proxies and modelling may inform respectively one another; ii) filling in a gap in research both chronologically (the first millennium of the Common Era) and geographically (the Italian peninsula) and iii) producing two new research tools useful for future studies, i.e. a repertory of 'reclaimed lands' and climatic extremes and a statistical model for climate reconstructions. Through its foci on the human responses to climate and environmental change, the project responds directly to the Horizon 2020 Work Programme to understand “the causes of climate change and to pave the way for pathways and solutions to address them”.
