Laboratory practical |
They illustrate those methods and protocols that are commonly used to generate sedimentological, geophysical, and/or geochemical data from deep-sea sediment cores. Laboratory practicals will centre on: (1) foraminifera as proxies os past ocean conditions; (2) the topic climate sensitivity based on palaeoclimate data; and (3) on the methods of magnetism applied to palaeoclimate research. Attendance is mandatory. |
Seminars |
Additional presentations centred on specific, timely topics within the wider fields of palaeoclimatology and paleoceanography (patterns of palaeoclimate change, palaeoclimate proxies, ocean-atmosphere interactions, palaeoclimate variability). Attendance is mandatory. |
