Thresholds in human exploitation of marine vertebrates

Descrizione del progetto

Utilizzo di dati archeologici nello studio degli ambienti marini

Gli studi di sostenibilità dell’ambiente marino europeo possono essersi concentrati su dati geologici e biologici, ma non hanno integrato in maniera ampia discipline quali l’archeologia o le prove che questo settore può fornire per comprendere l’uso passato delle risorse. Il progetto SeaChanges coinvolge esperti in archeologia, zoologia, ecologia marina e biologia della conservazione di sette importanti istituzioni che creeranno un ponte tra le scienze archeologiche e biologiche per sviluppare una piattaforma di formazione interdisciplinare. Ciò aiuterà i ricercatori a studiare l’impatto dell’uomo sulle principali specie marine europee nel corso dei millenni. SeaChanges migliorerà anche la comprensione delle popolazioni di vertebrati marini e aumenterà la consapevolezza dell’impatto umano su tali specie nel corso della storia.

Obiettivo

SeaChanges provides state-of-the-art training to forge a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers able to operate at the interface of archaeology and marine biology. The seas are crucial to European economy, identity, and food security, as recognised by H2020 Blue Growth. Marine resource use has influenced European societies for millennia, and we in turn have impacted the seas. The need for long-term perspectives to inform marine management is becoming clear, but disciplinary silos hold back integration of archaeological data/approaches to this end. SeaChanges brings together experts from 7 leading institutions in archaeology, zoology, marine ecology & conservation biology, united by our recognition of this gap. We will pool our disparate skills and experience in an integrated training programme, creating a new generation of researchers who from the outset of their careers have the interdisciplinary understanding & skills required fully to realise the potential of archaeological remains to a) understand past marine resource use, b) assess past impacts, and c) use these to inform the present. SeaChanges will:
1) develop a truly interdisciplinary training platform, breaking down boundaries between archaeological & biological sciences.
2) improve understanding of the time depth of human use of and impact on key European marine species.
3) train a cohort of researchers who can communicate across disciplinary and sectoral boundaries, whose insights will drive the adoption of long-term perspectives into concepts of sustainable fishing.
4) increase cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral awareness of the potential of long-term perspectives in marine ecology.
This is achieved via dedicated training in bioarchaeology, ecology, and communication, supporting a network of 15 complementary research projects that apply diverse methods to address both social and ecological themes, covering all of Europe's seas, key marine species, and timescales from decades to millennia.
