GEOS 341 - Paleoecology

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

Paleoecology is the study of the fossil record and the ecological relationships of extinct organisms. It uses tools that cut across the fields of biology and geology to provide information not only about the past, but about how the modern world we live in came to be. We will focus throughout the course on analytical techniques used by paleoecologists to study the past as well as cover ethical and societal issues pertaining to this field.

Prerequisite(s): One course with a BIO or GEOS prefix, OR ENVS 250, OR junior standing, OR consent of the instructor.
