HOPE

Humans on Planet Earth - Long-term impacts on biosphere dynamics (HOPE) is a 6.5-year European Research Council Advanced Grant project running from 1 January 2018 to 30 June 2024. It addresses a critical question in Earth system science - what was the impact of prehistoric people on the biosphere...
