Paleoecology: Reconstructing Past Ecosystems and Environmental Change

Foundations of Ecology → Synthesis and Interpretation of Paleoenvironmental Records

This advanced graduate-level path equips ecology and geology students with the knowledge and skills to reconstruct past ecosystems and understand environmental change. It covers fundamental ecological principles, Earth's history, dating methods, and key paleoecological proxies such as fossils, pollen, and geochemical indicators, culminating in the synthesis of paleoenvironmental reconstructions and their application to contemporary issues.
