Course Description
Paleoecology offers insights into the ancient ecosystems of Earth across millions of years and how the study of these extinct realms compares and contrasts with ecological studies of the modern world. Students will learn about ancient organisms through firsthand observation of fossil specimens, will have hands-on experience with paleontological data collection, and will learn to perform data analysis on paleontological datasets. At least one optional weekend field trip (illustrating concepts learned in class) will be offered during the semester.
