Easter Island, a World Heritage Site is still, after over 50
years since Thor Heyerdahl's work on the island, a fascinating area
to explore and learn about a culture that has only remnants
remaining, while documenting a marine ecology still mostly
unknown.
Easter Island: Scientific Exploration into the World's
Environmental Problems in Microcosm presents the research results
from three years of interdisciplinary expeditions to Easter Island.
The primary objectives were to investigate the effects of human
population growth on the ecology of the island and to discover
whether any dramatic climatic changes such as a prolonged El Nino
could have disrupted the island's fragile ecosystem. The
interdisciplinary scientific team were mainly researching the
paleontology, archaeology, climatology, and geophysics of the
island. This book now brings together the results of the three
expeditions, identifies new areas of research, and hopefully will
continue to inspire aspiring scientists to revisit this amazing
island to explore and demystify this timeless enigma of human
history. "
