  First coined in the 1930s, with reference to glaciation in North America, the concept of the “Little Ice Age” has undergone continuous revisions. It has traveled academically from glaciology to climatology, archeology, history, and, most recently, climate communication. Over time, it has grown into one of the most discussed topics in the field of climate history and attracts both considerable scholarly interest and public attention. The term “Little Ice Age” has been criticized for oversimplifying climatic change, focusing too much on temperature, and excluding possible effects on humans. Yet it remains a powerful “boundary object” in interdisciplinary cooperation, science communication, and the “environing” of history. In this sense, it serves similar functions as other concepts in the field of human–environment interactions, such as “global warming” or “climate resilience.” This article investigates the contested history and the potential uses of the “Little Ice Age” concept. It explores how the concept encourages interdisciplinary consilience, global perspectives, and public debate. In summary, these aspects are connected and contrasted to the use of similar concepts, such as “climate resilience” and “tipping points” in the sphere of climate–society interactions.

  Migration is an inherent part of human history. It has been linked to socioeconomic, political, demographic, and environmental factors, and increasingly to past climate variability, climate change, and natural hazards, including extreme weather events. This paper discusses migration as both a cascading effect of climate change impacts and an adaptive response to climate-related risks. It distills key patterns in regional and global studies of past climate-migration links; provides a topical overview of existing studies dealing with climate-induced migration during historical times in Europe, North America, and Asia; and summarizes key perspectives of climate and migration research on the historical past.

  Down the centuries, the people of the Nordic countries have confronted challenges from climatic variability and change and sought ways to survive and adapt. In a time of accelerating global warming, these climate histories take on new contemporary significance. Drawing on tools from the natural and historical sciences, the innovative scholarship in this volume addresses questions such as: How did Nordic societies cope with past climatic hazards? What was the historical significance of the ‘Little Ice Age’ or the ‘Medieval Climate Anomaly’ for Nordic countries? And how do we study, narrate and learn from these past experiences? This volume is the first to collect climate histories from across all the Nordic countries. It combines research from climatologists, historians, archaeologists and museologists to explore how climate and culture interacted in the past and what we might learn from these interactions today. The chapters range from in-depth case studies to reflexive meta-histories; cover periods from the Bronze Age to the present; and draw on sources from tree rings to material culture to poetry. They also discuss how these histories can be communicated today, including how museums and literature can bring them into conversation with a current audience looking for lived experiences of climate adaptation. The volume was conceived during an international conference at the University of Oslo in May 2024. This interdisciplinary forum connected leading scholars in the field with practitioners and stakeholders. The essays presented here engage a rapidly growing field of intense public and political concern in the Nordics and beyond. The book speaks to various academic communities (climatology, history, literature) and stakeholders (museum practitioners, climate communicators and advocates). It includes the growing research and student community invested in this topic across several disciplines, practitioners and communicators in the field and the wider public interested in the vibrant debates about climate adaptation and experience.

  Public granaries served as key infrastructures to improve food security in agrarian societies. Their history dates to the oldest complex societies, but they experienced a boom period during the 18th and early 19th centuries in Europe. In Bohemia and Moravia (modern-day Czech Republic), numerous granaries were established by decree in 1788 to provide serfs with grain for sowing in the face of fluctuating weather. Here, we analyze granary data from 15 out of a total of 17 considered domains in the Sušice region (southwest Bohemia) from 1789 to 1849 CE. We use the documented annual values of grain borrowed by serfs, their grain depositions, total grain storage, and the total debt of serfs at the end of the year as proxies for harvest quality and size. Based on the series of these four variables, we calculate weighted grain indices, considering the balance between borrowed and returned grain: a weighted bad harvest index (WBHI), a weighted good harvest index (WGHI), a weighted stored grain index (WSGI: WSGI-, more borrowed than returned; WSGI+, more returned than borrowed), and a weighted serf debt index (WSDI: WSDI+, more borrowed than returned grain; WSDI-, more returned than borrowed grain). WBHI, WSGI-, and WSDI+ were used to select years of extreme bad harvests, and WGHI, WSGI+, and WSDI- to identify years of extreme good harvests. We tested selected extreme harvest years against documentary weather data and reconstructed temperature, precipitation, and drought series from the Czech Lands. We discuss the uncertainty of the data and the broader context of the results obtained. The findings document the potential of this new methodology, using widely available public granary data as proxies for historical climatological research.

  Concern has risen that current global warming and more frequent extreme events such as droughts and floods will increase conflict around the world. This concern has spurred both social science research on contemporary climate, peace, and conflict as well as research in the historical sciences on past climate, weather, warfare, and violence. This perspectives article compares these two fields of scholarship and examines how each may benefit the other. It finds significant convergences in methods and insights across contemporary and historical research as well as persistent patterns in causal pathways between climate and conflict. Contemporary climate, peace, and conflict (CPC) research may sharpen methods and causal models for historical researchers. Historical studies, particularly those informed by contemporary research, may elucidate deep origins and long-term effects of climate-related conflicts. For policymakers and the public, history offers comprehensible ways to make sense of complex and contingent linkages and to construct cogent narratives of the past as well as storylines for the future.

  Cold anomalies constitute the signature events of the “Little Ice Age” (~1300–1850). During this climatic period extreme winters occurred in an almost generational rhythm (1709, 1740, 1771, 1784) and became a formative experience for Europeans. The dramatic impacts of these anomalies resulted from their socionatural character. They encompassed both physical and social aspects, with frost damage and delayed plant growth on the one hand interacting with social inequality, poor cold protection, and cultural restrictions on the other. As a result, extreme winter events constitute a rich field for studies of climate-culture-interactions. This paper presents an overview of the entangled biological and social impacts of cold anomalies during the 18th century. It draws on the Krämer/Pfister interaction model to exemplify the cascading effects of cold shocks and cultural repertoires through various societal levels. A close-up of the 1770s cold anomaly demonstrates how these momentous “twin catastrophes” connected climate and culture.

  Poland–Lithuania served as Europe’s grain basket for centuries, playing a vital role in feeding its neighbours during times of climatic adversity. However, its ecological abundance also attracted hostile intentions. In the early 1770s, the territory experienced a twin catastrophe: a deep political crisis coinciding with a severe climate anomaly. This paper examines the interaction between climate and conflict during a period typically analysed only from the perspective of political history. It aims to reconnect significant state events, such as civil war, occupation, and partition, with their socioecological context, including harvest failures, famine, and epidemics. This approach challenges deterministic simplifications of climate–conflict relations and emphasises the diverse range of human responses to climatic impacts, ranging from desperation to appropriation

  Abstract The article evaluates recent scholarship on famines in Europe during the medieval and early modern periods (c. 700–1800), synthesizing the state-of-the-art knowledge and identifying both research gaps and interdisciplinary potentials. Particular focus is placed on how, and to what extent, climatic change and variability is given explanatory power in famine causation. Current research, supported by recent advances in palaeoclimatology, reveals that anomalous cold conditions constituted the main environmental backdrop for severe food production crises that could result in famines in pre-industrial Europe. Such food crises occurred most frequently between c. 1550 and 1710, during the climax of the Little Ice Age cooling, and can be connected to the strong dependency on grain in Europe during this period. The available body of scholarship demonstrates that famines in medieval and early modern Europe best can be understood as the result of the interactions of climatic and societal stressors responding to pre-existing vulnerabilities. Recent research has shown that societal responses to these famines, and the appropriation of their consequences, have been much more comprehensive, dynamic, and substantial than previously assumed. The article concludes by providing recommendations for future studies on historical famines.

  The ClimateCultures projects aims to tackle the question “What happened the last time we encountered rapid climate change?” using evidence from tree rings and historical records to paint a picture of the natural impacts and societal responses in Norway during the Little Ice Age. More specifically, we aim to investigate the short lived extreme cold events in the 1700’s. Norway is particularly well suited to dendroclimatology studies as the cooler climate creates climate sensitive trees growing at their limit (during the summer growing season June-July-August (JJA)). As well as this, the geographical location and the topography of Norway separates the country into different many climate regions. Hanssen-Bauer & Nordli (1998) distinguish six temperature zones and twelve precipitation zones defined by strongly correlating variable time series at climate stations (Figure 1A). In this study we compare the use of Ring Width Index (RIW) chronologies and Blue Intensity Index (BII) chronologies to reconstruct summer temperatures and precipitation in western Norway. In this poster we show preliminary results and highlight the potential of these records to produce quantitative reconstructions
