When did human societies first transform Earth? On August 30, 2017, the GLOBE project received a supplement from NSF to collaborate with archaeologists in PAGES to find new ways to synthesize the local knowledge of archaeologists at global scale. Exactly two years later, on August 30, 2019, the ArchaeoGLOBE project based on this support published its results

On the challenges of georeferenced research
The GLOBE project aims to bring local and regional studies together with global data to globalize our understanding of land use change. A central challenge in this effort is to correctly portray the geographic location in space of published journal articles. Jason Karl, one of our friends at JournalMap has a nice blog p0st about

In the early 1990s, I set out to study ecological sustainability in China’s Tai Lake Region; famous since ancient times for high rice yields and dense populations. What I learned from the farmers of Xiejia Village changed me for good. These
Global Land Project Synthesis Survey
In preparation for the Open Science Meeting (OSM 2014) of the Global Land Project (GLP) in Berlin this March, a survey is being conducted to assess the state of land-change science, identify new emerging research priorities, and support the GLP‘s transition to it’s next phase. An initial summary of results will be presented during the closing session
