EXPLORE SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

We study long-term interactions between human societies and their environments to better understand how complex social-ecological systems evolve over time.

ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY

Our research combines historical sources, archaeological evidence, and environmental proxies to reconstruct past environments and human activities.

INNOVATIVE METHODS

Using advanced computational tools and interdisciplinary data analysis, we investigate the mechanisms driving environmental and societal change.

INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION

HUMECO collaborates with leading research institutions across Europe and participates in major international projects, including the ERC-funded EUROpest.

Our research group is based at the Institute of Advanced Studies of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń

What We Study

HUMECO investigates the long-term interactions between human societies and their environments. Our research combines historical sources, archaeological evidence, environmental proxies, and computational methods to reconstruct past socio-ecological systems and understand the mechanisms driving environmental change.

Our Research

HUMECO’s core business is research, with a specific focus on studying human ecology and environmental history. Through the combination of historical sources, archaeological data, environmental proxies, and computational methods, we reconstruct past socio-ecological systems and investigate the mechanisms shaping environmental change.
