Podnebne spremembe v pozni antiki

Pavlin, Timotej (author), Milavec, Tina (mentor), Andrič, Maja (co-mentor)

Diplomsko delo skuša čimbolj celostno zaobjeti podnebna nihanja na ozemlju nekdanje rimske države in območjih, ki so vplivala nanjo. Časovno je zamejeno med začetkom našega štetja in zgodnjim srednjim vekom (med 1 n. št. in 600 n. št.). Poleg tega, da delo predstavi ta nihanja, želi služiti tudi kot pregled velike večine naravoslovnih paleoklimatskih raziskav za arheologe, zgodovinarje in ostale zainteresirane raziskovalce. Naloga je razdeljena na tri glavne dele. V prvem gre za opis zgodovine raziskav podnebja v obravnavanem obdobju ter teorije in zgodovinski pogled na odnos med človekom in njegovim okoljem. V drugem delu so predstavljene osnove najpomembnejših paleoklimatskih zapisov, njihovih mehanizmov nastanka in kako se podnebna nihanja odražajo v nadomestnih podatkih. Tretji del je opis podnebnih dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na Evropo in Sredozemlje, ter uveljavljene časovnice podnebnih nihanj v obravnavanem obdobju in področju. Temu pa sledi pregled relevantne literature po posameznih regijah in primerjava nihanj v njih z uveljavljeno časovnico.

Abstract

The thesis aims to comprehensively describe climate fluctuations on the territory of Roman state and areas, that affected it. Temporaly it is limited between the start of common era and Early Middle Ages (between AD 1 and AD 600). It introduces climate fluctuations and serves as an overview of paleoclimatic research for archaeologists, historians and other interested researchers. The thesis is divided in three parts. The first one is a description of the history of climate research in the discussed period and a theoretical and historical view on the relationship between humankind and its environment. The second part introduces basics of the most important paleoclimatic archives, the mechanisms of paleorecord formation and explains how climate fluctuations are shown in the proxy data. In the third part the factors that affect climate changes in Europe, and particularly Mediterranean, are described. Climate fluctuations in the studied time and place are presented and discussed. This is followed by an overview of relevant literature in specific regions and comparison with the established timeline.
