The final episode of the Climate History podcast is also the first episode of The Climate Chronicles, a new podcast created, produced, and narrated by our host, Professor Dagomar Degroot of Georgetown University.
The Climate Chronicles is a unique multimedia production that uses dramatic storytelling to explain how climate change shaped the history of humanity, from our evolution to the current climate crisis.
It explores how and why climate changed in the past; how researchers in many fields identify human responses to past climate changes; how scientists first learned about the history of climate change; and what this history could tell us about the future.
In our introductory episode, Professor Degroot uses one of the great adventure stories of the seventeenth century - the tale of fourteen desperate men deserted on two tiny Arctic islands - to identify key themes in the history of climate change.
You can find The Climate Chronicles wherever you listen to podcasts, or you can visit TheClimateChronicles.com to view episode trailers, download audio files, and read illustrated transcripts with maps, graphs, infographics, and citations.

Climate Change in the Ancient World: Volcanoes, Rebellions, and Lessons from the Distant Past
In the 14th episode of Climate History, co-hosts Dagomar Degroot and Emma Moesswilde interview Joseph Manning, the William K. and Marilyn Milton Simpson Professor of Classics at Yale University. Professor Manning is a leading expert on the law, politics, and economy of the ancient world, particularly the Hellenistic Period (between 330 and 30 BCE). In recent years, he's led efforts to uncover a link between volcanic eruptions, climatic shocks, and rebellions in ancient Egypt: efforts that inspired headlines in the Washington Post, the New York Times, and elsewhere. Professor Manning explains how his team uncovered the influence of climate change in Egyptian history, and what the ancient world has to tell us about our uncertain future.
