Full Description
This exam studies the correlation between climate change and the distribution patterns of fossils throughout geological time. It assesses the impact of climatic shifts on biodiversity and extinctions.
Understanding fossil distribution in relation to past climates is imperative for predicting future ecological impacts of climate change. This topic contributes significantly to research in both paleontology and environmental science.
Candidates will be evaluated on their ability to discuss the effects of climatic transitions on different species and habitats. Verbal assessments will focus on analytical rigor and clarity.
Further discussions may involve contemporary examples of climate change and parallels with historical fossil records to enhance understanding of potential future patterns.
Sample Questions
- How did past climate changes affect the distribution of particular fossils?
- What lessons can be learned from fossil records regarding current climate change?
