Studying the impact of climate change on Georgia archaeology sites Image: Lindsey Cochran taking water samples on Sapelo Island, Georgia. In the world of climate change studies, there are extensive global and regional models but fewer site-specific models. Lindsey Cochran, a postdoctoral research associate with the University of Georgia Laboratory of Archaeology, is working with digital data from the Georgia coast to recreate models that simulate site-specific changes from now until 2100.

Mariana Matos Photo: First Name: Mariana Last Name: Matos Read more about Mariana Matos Hi! I am a Portuguese PhD Candidate in Integrative Conservation and Anthropology at the University of Georgia. My work in Madagascar began in 2016, when I first traveled to the island to work with lemurs, and I have continued my research there ever since. My current research focuses on the Critically Endangered Perrier’s sifaka (Propithecus perrieri), examining how these lemurs share landscapes with people and how human-sifaka interactions and space-use strategies may shape parasite transmission.
