Paleoenvironment Course
This course equips you with essential skills to analyse past environments by integrating sediments, fossils, artefacts, and dating techniques with actual landscapes. You will construct reliable reconstructions, minimise uncertainties, and produce professional reports that advance environmental research and conservation efforts in Zimbabwean contexts.

What will I learn?
Gain hands-on expertise in reconstructing ancient landscapes from field and laboratory evidence. Master the analysis of sediments, terraces, fossils, pollen, charcoal, and artefacts, while applying vital dating techniques like radiocarbon and OSL to establish precise timelines. Through practical exercises, develop skills in sampling, stratigraphic recording, and synthesising data for authoritative paleoenvironmental assessments.
