Title:

Landscape and natural history

Abstract:

This talk will try to illustrate 'natural history' and landscape in Britain by describing the history of our landscapes and our attitudestowards them. Like Japan, Britain has a wide range of landscape types depending on climate and underlying geology. Human activity can be traced back almost 10,000 years to the time when humans re-colonized Britain after the last glacial retreat. Almost nothing remains untouched but now we actively strive to conserve semi-natural habitats and the biodiversity that goes with them.

We plan to have a party after the seminar. If you want to joint it, please send an e-mail to rihn-seminar@chikyu.ac.jp by 7th of February.
If you have any questions and comments, please do not hesitate to contact to rihn-seminar@chikyu.ac.jp.Thank you.
