People, Soils, Microbes: the Evolution of Inhabited Landscapes

How do we make our home in an ever-changing world, teeming with living and non-living things? Join us in a hands-on exploration of thousands-of-years-old archaeological sediments that embody histories of long-inhabited landscapes, and of the unseen, often forgotten microorganisms that mediate landscape processes and keep our ecosystem healthy and happy. Led by geologist Dr Nikos Kourampas (Centre for Open Learning, University of Edinburgh) and ASCUS Lab technician and soil microbiologist, Jiri Jirout. 

This workshop is in collaboration between ASCUS Lab and the MSc Cultural Landscapes.
