What will happen to low-lying #islands under #ClimateChange? As expected, the answer is complicated, with some of our science:

One conclusion is to be wary of assumptions of disappearance that were prevalent at #COP27 #COP27Egypt since many nuances and provisos exist. #IslandStudies

First post here to introduce myself. I am an early modern #historian in Maastricht and specialise in #geohumanities and #islandstudies. I am looking forward to making contact with other researchers in my areas of interest. I am currently co-coordinating the #DigiKAR project and have just published our recent teaching project on clerical mobility in early modern Mainz. https://ieg-dhr.github.io/DigiKAR_Projektseminar/
