Title Quaternary Climate Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems
Description The course introduces the concepts of Quaternary climate changes and climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and paleoclimatology as inferred from mostly terrestrial natural climate archives. The focus is on the LGM, the Late-glacial, the Holocene and the last 1000 years. Regional examples include the Westerly winds in mid and high latitude northern hemispheric areas, paleomonsoon and Paleo-ENSO.
Good knowledge in paleogeology/paleoecology (methods and principles), physical geography (climatology!) and plant ecology is a strong advantage, e.g Paleo I (BSc Geology/Geography).
