What will I learn?
Gain hands-on expertise in interpreting ancient landscapes through field and lab data analysis. Master reading sediments, terraces, fossils, pollen, charcoal, and artefacts, while applying vital dating techniques like radiocarbon and OSL to establish precise chronologies. Practice effective sampling, stratigraphic logging, and holistic reconstructions for dependable paleoenvironmental assessments.
