White, Samuel A
Dear colleagues
The Past Global Changes (PAGES) Climate Reconstruction and Impacts from Archives of Societies (CRIAS) working group will hold its final workshop on 22 August 2025 in Uppsala, Sweden. The workshop will be held as a side meeting in conjunction with the European Society for Environmental History conference on August 18-22: http://eseh.org/eseh-conference-2025-climate-histories/
The CRIAS working group (https://pastglobalchanges.org/science/wg/crias/intro) began in 2018 and is now completing its second phase of work. It has resulted in nine international events, dozens of publications (with more on the way), and new methods and collaborations. In this final event, we would like to reflect on what we have accomplished, plan a final synthesis product for the group, and consider new possibilities and next steps for the field.
The ESEH conference theme this year is “climate histories.” Therefore, we would like to adopt this theme as our own and to organize panels for the main ESEH conference as well as papers and discussion for the final CRIAS workshop. This way, we hope research in our field will reach a wider audience and we will attract lots of participation in the meeting. The ESEH call for papers is now open here: http://eseh.org/cfp-13th-biennial-european-society-for-environmental-history-eseh-conference/
Contact samuel...@helsinki.fi by October 21 if you would like to submit a paper to the conference on climate history that we could organize within a CRIAS-affiliated panel. Please include your abstract and a short CV or bio.
If you are already planning to submit a climate history panel for the ESEH conference and would like to affiliate it with the CRIAS workshop, please email samuel...@helsinki.fi before submitting. That way, we can be in touch with the conference organizers to help ensure that panels do not overlap in the conference schedule.
For those participating in the CRIAS workshop, there may be funding available for early career researchers and scholars from developing countries. Please mention in your email if you may need funding.
