Work was conducted via 8 work packages (WP). WP1 involved the collection of the shared Indo-European climate and weather vocabulary, and thus involved a great deal of data gathering and analysis. This work resulted in 3 conference presentations, 1 manuscript, 1 forthcoming book chapter, and one invited talk. WP2 involved the analysis of some of the shared poetic and mythological motifs to be found in the use of this climate and weather vocabulary in the literature of the early-attested Indo-European daughter languages, in order to gather insights about speaker attitudes towards climate and weather phenomena; this work resulted in one conference presentation, two invited talks, and is also incorporated into the previously-mentioned forthcoming book chapter. WP3 involves the creation of an interactive online atlas which presents the climate and weather vocabulary and indexes it to time and place of attestation; this atlas is forthcoming. WP4 involved further dissemination of the results, which included two more invited talks and an interview in an outreach article in Horizons magazine; it will also result in the publication of an edited volume on weather in Indo-European. In WP5, I organized a conference on the subject of Weather and Climate in Indo-European, the first ever convened on the subject, which took place in November 2023 and featured talks on linguistic, literary, and cultural aspects of the problem. WP6 concerned researcher development through teaching: I designed and taught a course at the University of Copenhagen on the historical grammar of the Greek language; additionally, I guest lectured in a class on the Indo-European lexicon, speaking about the shared vocabulary describing the physical world. Finally, in WP7 and 8, which dealt with the development of research skills, I was a member of the Roots of Europe Research Centre and the Language History Research Group at the University of Copenhagen, which are dynamic and collaborative communities which facilitate discussion and innovation on the subjects of historical linguistics and Indo-European studies.
