Course Description
This course on paleoecology provides a study of the different processes that have operated in ecosystems throughout the Quaternary Period and directly influenced the evolution and dynamics of populations. It examines the relationships between human beings and the environment throughout the Quaternary, considers the proximity of biotic communities of the past to present analogues, and explores how paleoecological conditions can be applied to current issues, such as climate change, the greenhouse effect, anthropogenic destruction of ecosystems, nature conservation, evolution of flora, and biodiversity.

Course Description
This course combines the distinct but complementary methods and approaches of geography, archaeology, and history to explore the evolution of the Irish landscape from the arrival of the first people on the island to the present. Throughout this course, students investigate the ways in which thousands of years of interaction between humans and their environment has given form to modern Irish rural and urban landscapes. Students explore the creation and alteration of landscapes by people through time and examine the ways in which these continue to structure the modern landscape which we inhabit or visit today. While the course is primarily focused on Ireland, a comparative perspective is used to highlight key similarities and differences with other landscapes. The course includes a one-day field trip to the remarkable and iconic landscape of Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, which allows students to directly consider and apply the various perspectives introduced within the course.

Generally, Southeast Asian culture can be seen as a grand confluence of culture from local pre-history, India, China, Islam and Europe. These factors are complicated by geological separation between the continent and the archipelago. This course examines historical cultural change with particular focus on each art; architecture, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, performing arts (including dance and music), and archaeological remains.
