DESCRIPTION:Day and Time: 5pm on Thursday 9 July\nVenue: Wolfson College\,
  Seminar Room 2\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Thomas N.D.E Quartermain\, Assistant Profe
 ssor of History\, Chair of the Korean Studies Minor in Underwood Internati
 onal College\, and Residential Master of Appenzeller House\, Yonsei Univer
 sity.\n\nWhat can the past teach us about the environment and our relation
 ship to the natural world? This special lecture will unveil hidden informa
 tion from government records and personal diaries from the medieval Koryo 
 era\, through the early-modern Choson kingdom\, to the fall of the Korean 
 Empire in 1910. Although researchers focus on quantitative data to reconst
 ruct historic conditions\, qualitative descriptions reveal additional hist
 orical weather patterns and natural phenomena. The lecture will report on 
 developments in an on-going digital humanities' project to build a reposit
 ory of natural phenomena on time and the weather from a range of sources. 
 The lecture will review the state of the project and offer some tentative 
 analyses.
