The project Transformations in early Greek societies and landscapes aims to reconstruct environmental changes and their influence on the cultural development in the region around the Gulf of Corinth during the Bronze Age/Iron Age transition (12th to 8th century BCE) based on a complementary study of sedimentary and archaeological archives

Changing the face of the Mediterranean project compare reconstructed trends in population and land use since the advent of Neolithic farming at a pan-Mediterranean scale and via regional case studies (one of which is Greece), to assess how demographic changes contributed to past and present land-use patterns.

Navarino Environmental Observatory (NEO) is a Greek-Swedish cooperation and an important resource for the collection and interpretation of past and present environmental and climatic information from the Peloponnese.

The Integrated History and future of People on Earth (IHOPE) initiative is a global network of researchers and research projects that link human and Earth system history through the integration of knowledge and resources from the biophysical and the social sciences and the humanities.
