Lake Texcoco (Mexico): geomorphic dynamics, human history, and modern environment

Carlos E. Cordova

This project attempts to study the entire history (pre-anthropic and anthropic) of the western part Lake Texcoco, one of the five large lakes of the endorheic Basin of Mexico. The eastern part of t he lake is occupied by modern Mexico City. Although the project focuses on the eastern part of the former lake basin, it is meant to reconstruct the entire former lake and create awareness of real and virstual (past and future) spaces. Methods of research involved geoarchaeology and geospatial technologies. ... [more]

Project

Paleograsslands and Paleopastures of the late Pleistocene and Holocene ecosystems

Carlos E. Cordova

Originally named Paleobiomes and Paleopastures this project has been renamed Paleograsslands and Paleopastures. The project focuses on reconstructing paleograssland dynamics in the south-central Gr eat Plains. However, it uses analog information from past and present grass-dominated ecosystems in Eurasia and Africa. In particular the project focuses in the relation between climate, keystone herbivores and fires. As the basis for this relation it uses the transition from Columbia mammoth to bison and from bison to cattle. ... [more]

Holocene Glacial and Climatic History of College Fjord, South-Central Alaska

This research project was initially funded by the National Geographic Society and the Foundation for Science and Technology (Portugal, European Union). Its main research goal is to reconstruct the Holocene glacial and climatic history of College Fjord in south-central Alaska using glacial sedimentology and stratigraphy, tree-rings, pollen, and 14C dating. ...
