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.
