History of Marine Animal Populations
The History of Marine Animal Populations (HMAP) forms the historical component of the Census of Marine Life program. It is a multidisciplinary, collaborative project which aims to enhance knowledge and understanding of how and why the diversity, distribution and abundance of marine life in the world's oceans changes over the long term.

Land and People in New Zealand
This project focuses on the complex and ever changing relationship between people and the land in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Areas researched include rural society; gender relations in the rural sector; land transformation; responses to and representations of the changing landscape; land settlement; the impact of farming upon landscape and indigenous people; the impact of goldmining on rural landscapes; rural education; environmental history and the history of forestry in New Zealand and the Pacific.

Paleoclimate Variability and Extreme Events in Europe 1000-1500
The project is a continuation of a successful seasonal reconstruction of European climate 1500-2000. The multiproxy reconstructionwill now be extended back to AD 1000 applying new statistical methods. This will shed light for instance on the Medieval Optimum in Europe at the beginning of the last millennium, which is currently only defined by very few proxy data.
