Ancient Maya civilization suffered a major demise between the tenth
and eleventh centuries. Paleoenvironmental research over the past
twenty years has revealed that the demise coincided with a prolonged,
intensive drought that extended across the region, providing
compelling evidence that climate change played a key role in the
collapse of the Maya. Billie Turner will examine this evidence and the
complex social and environmental conditions that affected Maya
societies.
