Climatic and environmental change in the Sahara of Northwest Sudan and Northeast Chad and its effects on human settlement during the last 10,000 years.
Dr Stefan Kröpelin graduated with a Master's degree on the Quaternary
geology and geomorphology of early-Holocene playa lakes in the Gilf Kebir
Plateau (Southwest Egypt) and a doctorate on the Wadi Howar (Northwest
Sudan), the major former tributary to the Nile from the Sahara. He is
director of the Sudan and Chad projects of the Collaborative Research Centre
ACACIA (Arid Climate, Adaptation and Cultural Innovation in Africa / SFB
389) at the University of Cologne and carried out over 30 expeditions in the
Eastern Sahara.
He will present, in this profusely illustrated lecture, the latest results
of research in the Sahara of Northwest Sudan and Northeast Chad which has
concentrated on climatic and environmental change and its effects on human
settlement during the last 10,000 years.
