Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course will explore the ocean-climate system from a geological perspective, with particular emphasis on the past 65 million years of Earth’s history. Students will learn about the ocean-climate connection today and will explore how physical, chemical, and biological aspects of ocean and climate leave characteristic imprints in marine sediments and what are the tools available to scientists to extract and read such clues. Students will also learn about specific past climatic regimes (e.g., greenhouse periods, rapid climatic perturbations, and transitions to cooler climates). The course will be organized as a combination of lectures and discussion of scientific, peer-reviewed papers.
