Revealing Environmental Memory. What the study of medieval literature can tell us about long-term environmental change

Iceland's medieval literature is not only a valuable repository of proxy data about historical changes to natural systems. It can also provide us with insights concerning how Icelanders of the past memorialized, preserved and transmitted local ecological knowledge over many generations.</p>
