ABSTRACT Palaeoecological research in the Department of Geography and Environment at the University of Aberdeen can be traced back to pollen-analytical (palynological) and geomorphological collaborations in the early 1970s. The research has generally been nested within Quaternary science and it features strong interdisciplinary links with archaeology, chronostratigraphy, climate change and ecology more generally. The pollen-based emphasis has been augmented by multi-proxy approaches including plant macro- and microfossils, geochemistry and pedology. There has always been techniques- and methodologically-orientated output and the chronological focus has spanned especially the period from the Lateglacial through to the present. With an emphasis upon research since the year 2000, the account is structured around such themes as environmental change in Scotland and the rest of the British Isles, human-environment interactions in the North Atlantic region, Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, atmospheric pollution and metals in prehistory, and carbon sequestration and chronologies. A final section looks briefly and selectively at future research.

阿伯丁大学地理与环境系古生态研究

摘要 阿伯丁大学地理与环境系的古生态研究可以追溯到 1970 年代初期的花粉分析（孢粉学）和地貌学合作。该研究通常嵌套在第四纪科学中，它与考古学、年代地层学、气候变化和生态学具有很强的跨学科联系。包括植物宏观和微观化石、地球化学和土壤学在内的多代理方法增强了基于花粉的重点。一直有以技术和方法为导向的产出，而且按时间顺序排列的重点尤其跨越了从晚冰期到现在的时期。2000年以来重点研究，该帐户围绕诸如苏格兰和不列颠群岛其他地区的环境变化、北大西洋地区、巴塔哥尼亚和火地岛的人类与环境相互作用、史前时期的大气污染和金属以及碳封存和年代学等主题构建。最后一部分简要并有选择地讨论未来的研究。
