A new piece by Martin Bauch reviews the types of sources available to climate researchers interested in the medieval world. Bauch weighs the usefulness of documentary and natural archives and how they can be used complementarily, ending with an analysis of how they might be used to study “compound events” in the past. In doing so, Bauch also challenges the recent assertion that past compound climate events cannot be used as case studies for future ones. Find out more about the piece here.
