Module overview

This module will deliver a comprehensive analysis of the cutting-edge topics associated with the fields of Palaeobiology and Palaeontology. We will cover topics focusing on the role of the fossil record in understanding past, present, and future ecosystems, as well as understanding how information from the fossil record provides insight into the processes of evolution. Through a combination of lectures and practicals, students will gain both theoretical and hands-on expertise in interpreting and analysing palaeobiological data.
