Paleoclimatology and Geological Time Studies

Course Overview

Earth’s climate and geological history provide critical insights into present and future environmental change. This Paleoclimatology and Geological Time Studies Training Course introduces participants to the reconstruction of past climates, the study of geological timescales, and the dating techniques used to interpret Earth’s deep history.

The course covers proxy data, stratigraphy, radiometric dating, and climate archives such as ice cores and sediments. Participants will also explore the links between past climate change, tectonics, evolution, and modern climate challenges.

By combining lectures, case studies, and practical analysis, participants will strengthen their ability to analyze geological records and apply paleoclimate knowledge to current geoscience and environmental debates.
