*SE The New Normal: Approaches to Studying, Documenting, and Mitigating Climate Change Impacts to Archaeological Sites

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 89th Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA (2024)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "*SE The New Normal: Approaches to Studying, Documenting, and Mitigating Climate Change Impacts to Archaeological Sites" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

While public debate continues unabated regarding human-induced climate change, archaeologists have long since accepted this reality and have managed impacts to our collective cultural patrimony through a variety of research and mitigation strategies. In the past decade the numbers of students and scholars whose work focuses on climate change impacts to cultural resources has only increased; as the impacts of climate change become more prominent and intense, the need for additional scholarship and coordinated, collaborative action has become more apparent. Posters herein highlight the work of students and scholars who are leading a new wave of climate change research and pioneering novel approaches to studying and mitigating the effects of an intensifying climate on the material record of humanity.
