In the last two days I have been taking part to the “Mapping Ancient Africa” workshop at the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome.
The aim of the workshop was to promote interaction between scientists working across Africa and across disciplines (palaeoclimate, palaeoecology, archaeology, modelling). I led a session about accessing large-scale palaeoclimatic reconstructions through the pastclim R package.
It was a fantastic opportunity to meet with great people, discuss and brainstorm new ideas and… have a lot of fun. Here are a few pictures of the event; more are shared at this link, where you can also access the recording of the plenary session.
