Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course will cover topics related to incompleteness and temporal resolution in the stratigraphic record and their effects on paleoecological patterns; effects of bioturbation on stratigraphic patterns; taphonomic pathways and taphonomic clock; principles of age dating and estimation of sediment-accumulation rates; assessments of comparisons of living assemblages with surface death assemblages and subsurface core assemblages; detecting analogue and non-analogue communities in the fossil record; comparing present-day crisis with Phanerozoic mass extinctions; and effects of warming, acidification, hypoxia on body size; and applications with regional examples.
Assessment and permitted materials
Students will be required to find a sediment-core or outcrop-based dataset (published in paleobiological or oceanographic repositories or own study) that has paleoecological, geochronological and stratigraphic framework, and assess the effects of stratigraphy on historical changes in composition, diversity or other ecological aspects in a written report.
