This course provides a broader context for studying modern environmental phenomena and delivers an overview of the key techniques and proxies used in reconstructing Quaternary environmental histories. Students also review the methodologies used to reconstruct past conditions, focusing on how these methods are used as windows into the past. Throughout the course several case studies will be examined that highlight the latest research and environmental reconstructions, with laboratory classes to give hands-on experience with basic environmental reconstruction methodologies.
