Historical Climatology
An interdisciplinary research field that reconstructs pre-instrumental climate conditions and sequences of natural events using historical documentary sources such as chronicles, ships' logs, and local gazetteers. It constitutes an important branch of paleoclimate research, bridging documentary history and climate science to extend the observational record beyond the era of systematic meteorological instrumentation.
