Sedimentology, Stratigraphy and Palaeobiology
Milton Keynes, England, United Kingdom
This Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, and Palaeobiology programme offers an in-depth study of sedimentary rocks and fossils, essential for understanding Earth's history and biological evolution. The course emphasizes the development and application of sedimentological, stratigraphical, and palaeobiological techniques, integrating micro- and macro-fossil analysis, sequence stratigraphy, and geochemical proxies to investigate past environmental and sea-level changes. It is designed for students interested in paleoenvironmental reconstruction and Earth's geological timescales, with a focus on sedimentary archives as records of Earth's dynamic history.
