Paleobiodiversity, environmental changes, evo

The objectives of this EU are twofold. On the one hand, it is a question of placing all the major stages of the history of organisms on Earth since the birth of the latter. Thus, themes such as the appearance of life, the colonization of continents, the appearance of angiosperms, glacial/interglacial cycles and the domestication of plants will be covered. On the other hand, it will be shown how paleoecology is part of modernity, whether it is on methodological developments (geochemistry, optical, electron and X-ray microscopy, etc.), on prediction models of climate evolution, ecosystem management in the context of global change or on biotechnology developments. The course will be mainly organized in lectures, each of which will be given by a specialist in the field.
