dc.description.abstractGlobal climate change and its related actual and potential impacts to society has called for studies that look to the past to better understand historical climate trends and how they may inform future climate trends. Specific in this area of research is environmental histories, wherein information on historical climate events and disasters are retrieved from historical documentary sources, i.e. archives, in order to study the potential causes and effects of these occurrences, as well as levels of vulnerability and resilience through the analysis of coping and adaptation strategies of societies.en_ZA
