Full Description

This exam centers on the interpretation of paleoenvironmental data derived from fossil records and sediment analyses. Emphasis will be placed on reconstructing past climates and ecosystems.

The capability to interpret paleoenvironmental data is essential for understanding the historical context of ecological processes, which is integral in addressing present-day ecological challenges such as biodiversity loss and climate change.

Candidates will be assessed on their ability to verbally articulate methods for data interpretation, draw conclusions from paleoenvironmental findings, and make connections to contemporary ecological scenarios.

Discussions could include the implications of ancient climate variability and its impact on modern ecosystem changes.
