Are you a Natural Sciences Master’s student who is passionate about climate change issue? Do you want to learn more but prefer not to travel? The course "Sedimentary Records of Earth’s Past Climate" might be for you. Registration is open until 30th June.
The course focusses on unravelling Earth’s paleoclimates and the effects of climate change on paleoenvironments - looking at the past to learn about the future. To achieve this goal you will examine a spectacular Jurassic-Cretaceous rock sequence with rich fossil content from the comfort of your home/university (or anywhere you would prefer to be). You will learn how to deal with and interpret various digital data and digitally collaborate with a field team in real time. The course is part of a Digital Academy organised by FORTHEM.
