Mountain Archaeology and Climate Change: Oklahoma Archaeology Month Lecture with Dr. Mark Aldenderfer

Mountain Archaeology and Climate Change: Oklahoma Archaeology Month Lecture with Dr. Mark Aldenderfer

In this lecture Dr. Aldenderfer will examine how past mountain peoples adapted to shifting climates, asking whether their strategies can inform those living in highland environments today. Drawing on archaeological evidence from regions such as the Alps, Andes, and Himalayas, he will discuss human resilience and vulnerability in the face of glacier retreat, variable precipitation, biodiversity loss, and climate-driven hazards.
