Paleobiological and paleoclimatological research within the department includes field and lab studies to document and date late Quaternary climate changes from lake sediments and other terrestrial records. The emphasis is on identifying lakes that contain high-resolution sediment records in order to investigate recent environmental change. The interdisciplinary nature of this research allows for a wide range of projects and collaborations with geologists, biologists, chemists, and archeologists in geographically diverse locations from the tropics to the arctic.
