Paleoecology (also spelled palaeoecology) is the study of interactions between organisms and/or interactions between organisms and their environments across geologic timescales. [1]

Apr 12, 2024 · An atmospheric scientist at Purdue studies clouds to understand how their formation and behavior are impacted by Earth's conditions, offering critical insights into cloud …

Since it is not possible to go back in time to see what climates were like, scientists use imprints created during past climate, known as proxies, to interpret paleoclimate. Organisms, such as …

When a paleoecologist studies an organism or community from the fossil record, these are the same types of questions they try to answer. Answering these questions about the past …

Palaeoecology is the interdisciplinary study of ancient ecosystems that uses fossil evidence, sedimentary records and geochemical proxies to reconstruct past environmental conditions …

At Yale, we lead research on the interconnected systems of Earth—biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and climate—spanning from ancient times to today. Our work covers everything …

Paleoclimate studies provide an essential perspective for assessing the potential impacts of future climate on natural systems and the people who rely on them.

Students and postdocs in the Axford lab have used these indicators to reconstruct changes in fire regimes, hydroclimate, polar and mid-latitude ecosystems and temperature.

Climatic geomorphology is of limited use to study recent (Quaternary, Holocene) large climate changes since there are seldom discernible in the geomorphological record.

This edited volume examines the role of trace fossils, fossil leaves and paleosols in paleoclimate and paleoecological reconstruction, and reviews exhaustively the key recent research in …
