Education facts
Code: 1GE055
The transition to Quaternary ice age conditions is marked by numerous major climatic changes. This course considers debates about the nature and forcing of these fundamental shifts in the Earth system over multi-millennial and tectonic timescales. We will discuss and engage in environmental change reconstruction using studies of key long-term archives such as loess and marine sediments as well as consider the proposed tectonic forcing mechanisms that shape our current climate epoch.
