Abstract

German
Carson Fellow Lajos Rácz erklärt die Wichtigkeit der Klimageschichte Ungarns, im Zusammenhang zur modernen Geschichte des Landes. Da Klimadaten erst im 19. Jahrhundert dokumentiert wurden, rekonstruiert er das ungarische Klima anhand der Beiträge von Tagebüchern oder Briefen. Er nutzt diese historischen Klimadaten zur Analyse, wie das tägliche Leben vom Klima zu dieser Zeit beeinflusst wurde. Lajos Rácz ist Professor an der Szeged Universität und Gastprofessor an der Zentraleuropäischen Universität in Budapest. Seine Forschungsfelder sind seit 1985 das Klima und die Umweltgeschichte.

Carson Fellow Lajos Rácz explains the importance of climate history for the overall history of early modern Hungary. Documented climate data has only been in existence since the nineteenth century; therefore, Rácz reconstructs the pre-nineteenth-century Hungarian climate from primary sources like diaries and letters. He uses such historical climate data in order to analyze how climate impacted everyday life during this era. Prof. Dr. Rácz is a professor at Szeged University and a visiting professor at Central European University, Budapest. He has specialized in climate and environmental history research since 1985.
