Lectures, 3 credits, 48 total credit hours. This course delivers systematic introduction of major geological events in the Earth history and archives for paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic reconstruction. The curriculum covers but is not limited to the content of Earth system evolution, multi-spherical interactions, biogeochemical cycles, paleoenvironmental tracers (e.g., foraminifera, pollens, corals, tree rings, authigenic minerals), and the linkage between the past and the future. This course aims to broaden students’ knowledge and skill sets in paleoceanography and paleoclimatology, laying a solid foundation for future research in the field of marine sciences.
